i blew a intercooler boot apart from ets on the driver side at the intercooler the stock ones dont hold up now the ets dont hold up.
does anyone make a stronger intercooler boot than ets
- Thread starter codyn
- Start date
what does the hose from ETS look like? How many ply are they?
Cody are you actually splitting the hoses?

i think the ets are 4 ply its the biggest you can get i guess. only thing i can figure its making some serious air flow. i was looking at the back of the ets boot and you can see where it was trying to force its way out but i guess it found a better route

is that a 3"ID 90*?
How about this use 2 - 3" hump hoses and a metal 90*
And see what ply the ETS hose is the one I have are all 4 ply

On intercooler boots? No. But I have seen it in industrial settings. Flex hoses that take up to ~500 PSI
Well Ive seen flex hose up to 50 000 PSI but I didnt think it would be good to use anything besides the silcone for this particular application:dontknow:
Wonder if this is heat related. The drivers side is traditionally the hot side. Have any idea what the temps are exiting the compressor side? What's your boost pressure?
boost is about 48 when it blew apart dont know about the temps on the compressor side egt only get about 1200
might be to much flex for these but on all ends you might be able to use Adel-Wiggins conectors and do away with the silicone ends all togather? They are a flexable coupling and are used alot for boost plumbing and they look bitchen too
Heres the link to Ried Washbon which they sell them

Something is amiss.
I run ETS also and some cheapo Chinese ones too. 60PSIG won't hurt them. Burst is about 120PSIG.
The ultimate is flanged piping. Like your downpipe-turbo clamp, you can do all the plumbing that way, but you must solid mount the engine and rubber mount the plumbing.

the tubes are from banks the problem im seeing is they are blowing apart on the inside of the boots . ets says that they have seen them blow on the outside but never the inside . that is the next step is the flange deal.
