Question Would you use this Charge Pipe?

Hello,

I need opinions. Would you use this Charge Pipe? I am skeptical on the quality.

Thank you

Talked to my tuner and a machinist. They both said to send it back. So keeping stock for now until I upgrade turbo.

What do you think is wrong with the pipe? the scratch is superficial and the welds on the inside have been filed smooth? i think you will find that with most charge pipes.

The charge pipe on the B58's is not a known weakpoint so you do only need to actually upgrade it if you upgrade the turbo or intake manifold
