Boots are a maintenance item- They might be able to handle a bit of heat, but they do wear especially right along the lip of tube, and the clamp. Aftermarket boots, and constant tension clamps. If you use regular hose clamps you should be
You can good boots from any International dealer, probably from a Cummins dealer as well. Just measure yours, length and diameter, they are a universal part.
I have seen 4" boots on a C15 hold 45-50psi for about 20mins straight.

 

The aftermarket boots I run now hold 60+ with no problem, I'm getting ready to swap a PS intercooler into my 1st gen cummins (opps... it it out... ) and was wondering if its worth using the factory boots.... plus not alot of people make a 3.25" to 3" boot...

 

i think diesel site makes some nice aftermarket boots.

 

How much boost do you plan to run thru that IC? Plastic or metal end tanks?

I have seen them blow at about 50psi so...

 

Metal End tanks, Right now I'm running 60psi but I think alot of that is hot air.
