However, when you start tuning, upgrading turbos, or towing heavy loads up steep grades, the factory charge air system quickly becomes the weakest link. The OEM intercooler relies on brittle plastic end tanks crimped to a thin core—a notorious recipe for boost leaks and catastrophic blowouts under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't let a cracked plastic tank leave you stranded.
