Default IC Boots

Alright, I'm getting a new set of boots and I would like to see whats the best bang. I dont want to buy the cheap boots and have to replace them down the road with the expensive ones especially if I could have done it right the first time. Right now I'm looking at BD Vulvan and Peak. Are their any differences in them besides price and name brand?

I was going to go with the vulcans from Luke but I'm kinda having doubts. Why are the vulcans 50/60 bucks cheaper than the Peaks and BDs? I rather spend the extra 50 and only have to do the job once then have to spend extra money on buying a second set..

Yah, I took my stock boots as far as they would go. With my setup I was seeing 70-75lbs and all of a sudden my boost fell down to 25lbs at WOT and I was hearing a high pressure squeal and my EGTs were through the roof (1800 being the highest I saw).

I have ran the PDR Charge Air Cooler boots for years and have never had one fail at all.They were installed by EEP a few years ago when the new head was installed.
