Yup, my Turner chargepipes look identical after 6-8 months of use

Mishimoto is the way to go imho. I do have a spare set of silicone chargepipes if you want to go that way Brian.

Yah. Thing is most of these are all probably out of the same Chinese factory. If I get another set it'll probably just happen again. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong structurally but still.

ESS uses 5 layer silicone which has a burst pressure of well over 100psi. Unfortunately, they are on hold as they've put all resources into other (more popular) makes/models. Hopefully, they'll start up production again soon as the only remaining alternatives are dwindling as the platform ages - meaning soon we'll have nothing left but the ali-copies.

It may or may not make a difference, it's really what exits out of the heat exchanger that counts.
