09 D8 Boondockers turbo with mini-Intercooler.
Thinking about trying the Billet TB, but not sure which one is best and if there are any problems with running one (leakage, vibration, stress)
Is it worth changing to billet? Lets hear some opinions Thanks,

Talk to Justin at Code Red. He said they tried one awhile back and they had problems with vibrations/harmonics. He said that they had inter coolers cracking and various other related problems. The rubber intake boots dampen a lot of vibration. I had problems with my intake boots blowing out, but after polaris updated the intake boots with a new part number, I have ran 12 psi last year with no problems. I haven't seen a need after running the new updated part number. I pulled them this summer and they still look new. Not needed IMO.
