OP I have stock charge pipes on for 160k. Never once had a boost leak or one pop off. Not sure how so many other's are having problems. They are very expensive for how little gains if any they make on stock turbo. I just see it as a reliability mod for a bigger turbo setup.

If you want I can PM you when I do put on 160k miles on the upper charge pipe. I don't read of them cracking as often as people advocating to replace it asap. I am driving through hot summers and cold winters, not 1-2 season beauties. You naturally hear more bad than the good on forums.
Yes tuned GMS1 from 12k-130k and Trifecta from 130k-160k. It's Kilometers I'm from Canada if you could look to the left please it says I'm from Ontario.

Okay will do. I haven't posted from mobile before.
To OP I'd be more worried about plastic end tanks on intercooler than charge piping. They are prone to being hit by accident. But if you have enough $$ buy the whole kit at once and be set.

You'd think a pipe meant for boost would be round, not flat over the. More air flow through a round pipe than a flat one lol

Yeah, the thing looks like a pancake lol
Have you studied fluid dynamics? Flat can flow just as much as round, not to mention with boost any little differences between a round or flat is out the window since your way into turbulent flow.
