Only Fabspeed might know when the issue started. The dent or no dent is only a partial indicator.
At some point in the last few months, Fabspeed changed the design to a cast top cone rather than a top cone made of sheet stainless and a machined turbo flange. This was intended to cut down on assembly error and complexity because there are fewer parts to weld, and it also removed the need for a dent.
The fitment issues stem from some damage to the assembly jig that ruined the alignment of the mounting bracket. Only the cast top cone jig was damaged, but I don't know when this damage occurred, probably some time into production.
So if you have a cast top cone, you
might be affected, but might not. If you have an earlier sheet + machined + dent top cone, you're not affected.
If you're worried, contact Fabspeed and I'm sure they'll make sure you're ok.
