Seems like a very common problem with their POS.
I think someone fixed theirs by epoxying a rivet head in there from the inside. I'd try to return it, but TPIS could be slow on something that isn't putting $$$ in their pockets.

Crushin,
I had the EXACT same problem last week after my 30lb injector swap.. I took some kick *** eproxy and then sanded the AFPR surface down to bare metal, then put the vacumm fitting back in and epoxied it in. After 20minutes your good to go. NO problems now..
Definatly not sucking anymore

Sux when you pay good money to a 
reputable company for a well known mod and it turns out being substandard 
SCREW TPIS. I won't buy squat from them again. I had the same problem with my AFPR on my Vette.
