send it off to haltech. they should be able to fix it up for you.

PS, never trust a friend to do a pro shops work.

What. The. Fu(k?

There is no way that was all accidental. Seriously, that level of damage doesn't happen just by pushing the clip into the ECU. What was he doing inside the E11?

Yep.. he wasnt supposed to have my haltech but he grabbed it with my engine harness when he took it to simplify it.. he has a shop as well.. but now.. all ties are severed with this..

yea he says he has no idea how it got that.. I bought this from C.ludwig about a year ago.. he sold it to me working and in perfect condition, which my "friend" said it was the guy who sold it to me fucked it up.. which i know is a 100% lie..

so now i think im going to take him to small claims court..

pro quality work right there. he gave you the full service!

shouldn't even need to go to haltech though, just about any decent electronics shop should be able to repair it. hell anyone with soldering skill could repair it, the most difficult part will be getting the correct pin replacements.

on a side note that was not accidental, someone purposefully went in there with a screwdriver and bent that ****. one or 2 bent pins maybe an accident, 4 different connectors with bent pins= no accident.

Whoa, looks like your friend really hated you. Did you sleep with his girl or something?

Why the f**k would someone do that? I've literally seen tons of pins bent from connectors being forcefully inserted the wrong way, but nothing as bad as that! Looks intentional to me.

Luckily, those breakaway headers should be easy to replace. Can't see enough of the 34-pin connector, but it looks like a maintenance-friendly board.
