JMF UICP problem!

I bought a JMF UICP for my Evo some months ago. Firts, they sent the wrong flange for the BOV. I asked for tial and they sent for stock BOV. Then when I installed the UICP doesnt fit in my car, I think they sent for stock IC too. I don´t know what can I do, because I spent money buying this UICP and shiped to my country. The shipping cost is high, so. My option is to looking for some couple to adjust those tubes or I dont know what else can I do.
What do you recomended in this case?

I only want to share my experience with JMF UICP.

Heres a pic of the instalation! =(

Mauricio. Have you tried contacting them directly to explain your rather unique situation? I mean... good customer service can be defined many ways. If it were my shop, and only hearing your side of the story, I'd probably just get you sorted out with the right parts, that you ordered, and take the hit on shipping at the shop to have a happy customer.

But word to the wise. Contact them directly through every avenue, before getting into a he said she said, about deemed poor service on the internet.

The thing is I bought the parts to maperformance, they said the problem was JMFab, not was a problem of them (map).
When I saw that they ship the wrong part (that was in El Salvador my country) I contacted them and say that I need to ship again for change the UiCp. The shipping cost from here to US is expensive (around $300) so, is more that the cost of the uicp.

Have you tried rotating both pipe pieces around a bit to see if you can get them to line up a little better. It can be tricky to line them up during install as there are a few angles you have to mess around with on those things. I had to play around with my etc uicp but once I figured it out it fit perfect.

line up the upper and lower half first and see where you need to be at to have it match up to the intercooler. Put the couplers in if you can but don't clamp any of them down until they are all on straight and everything lines up, then snug them down. G/L
