Mechanic is not impressed by MAD Intercooler

Ordered this from XPH last year: MAD N20/N26 Intercooler + Charge Pipe Combo

Finally getting it installed now but here’s what my mechanic had to say:

Hi, this is Tom from xyz. I want to update you about the repair.

The new intercooler you brought is approximately 4 times heavier and a little bigger than the stock intercooler. The connections are plastic and only 2 bolts are holding it in place. You will need to drive the car very carefully. If you hit a bump fast, it might come off. Also, there is a slight dent on the intercooler. Please review the pictures and you will have a better idea of what is going on.

Is he exaggerating or did I buy a dud?
