I had a split in my drivers side silicone boot so I decided to upgrade it and hopefully eliminate that problem for good. At the track this past weekend I could only hold about 35 lbs. Since fixing the leak and increasing the pipe sizing along the way I can now hold 50lbs. Here are a few pictures.
Intercooler Boot Upgrade
- Thread starter S Phinney
- Start date
I ordered a 90 degree aluminum bend and cut it down then welded to match the factory angles. I then used a bead roller to put the beads on. Then when I got home, I took it back off and used some Mother's polish and my polishing wheel to shine her up a little.
It is as thick as the factory piping or just a hair thicker. I'm not sure on the specs though.
I was impressed with it myself. Sure does look better than what was there. It didn't take me that much time either.

If going over 40-45 psi this should be done. The stocker starts blowing up like a hot air balloon. Looks good man. Nice job. Where did you get your bead roller from? I always weld the bead on, but rolling them is cheaper.
I get lots of complements on my BIG HOSE.
