mine had a gash too. about an inch long. It didn't look very deep. I put about five coats and paint on it and now you can barely tell it's there. haha.

When I did my foil delete, I ended up with that tapping/pinging sound but found it really quick and rotated the pipe away from the pump. No more issues.

A dent down there is normal, but not a gash. I put a little heater hose that I had left over from my CCV mod around that bolt thing.

You're right -- a few folks have found holes in the pipe after pulling the foil off.

az2000ex the foil delete is where you take the intake(drivers side) intercooler tube and strip the foil and glue(sucks)off of it. after that clean it up with some steel wool or paint it.
