Are you sure you guys have metal intercoolers? Mine looks aluminum to me.

 

I have a 2005 G56 purchased 3-31-05 with the plastic tank.

 

I seen one the other day that had 150k miles on it and still hadnt blown. The guy also towed heavy on a somewhat regular basis.....testament for the plastic intercooler!

 

Only early 05's have the plastics.
Dodge tried to cheap out in 2005, it backfired, they went back to alum.

 

No no, what I am saying is, everyone kept refering to their intercooler's as being metal. Mine is aluminum. I did not know they made metal one's. I know they made aluminum and plastic, but not metal.

 

Aluminum is metal.

 

You know what I meant

 

Not what I wanted to hear There has to be some way to help it go

 

I have 65k on my truck with the stock plastic intercooler. Holding up to 38 psi daily too.

 

Ya, I wouldn't sweat it until you start pushing 40-45 psi

 

It will definitely let go. It will do it at the worst possible place usually. Mine did it pulling my 12.5k toy hauler coming up out of Tilamook Oregon coming back from the dunes. Strands you uphill, no cell phone coverage, and a long walk back!

Mine came apart at 38psi. I was watching the gauge when I heard it blow.

 

Mine needs to blow in 24,000 miles or less. Nudge Nudge....

 

33k on my plastic fantastic, 2/3rds of that lite towing (6k).

Why does the loss of boost strand you? I figured to limp home, light throttle low gears.
