    So this past week I was changing the lim out and start taking things off and once I take off the air intake off the TB I see this (picture below). How in the world could some manage this? Not only is the vent smashed but also chunk of the TB (top right). It just amazes me how someone can do this lol

    I can not even begin to imagine what someone would be doing to cause that kind of damage.

    Looks like someone was trying to pry the airtube off the TB and got a little too aggressive.

    Maybe someone was trying to take out the screen to clean the TB the quick way?
