IAT Sensor Damaged?

Planning to replace my MAF sensor with an IAT when installing my eurobox. My IAT just arrived, and it looks like this. All bent and warp:



Is this still safe and functional? How can I test this? Or, should I just ask for a replacement?

Just flash the 330 tune and install in place of the MAF. If the car doesn't rattle and you don't get a code, you're good.

Any other way I can test it without flashing a tune? Don't have a cable or the 3SIM yet, not sure if the tune is fine to flash with my car still being stock. Was planning to get a tune from StageFP, didn't get a cable. What cable would I need to flash the tune?

Kinda hard to test it without flashing it as the values might not even get read in INPA/ISTA. If you're really worried I ld just as soon return it.

Just need a Bimmergeeks or similar K+DCAN cable.
