Default How Much Boost Will Stock Boots Hold?
How much boost can I run through stock 7.3 intercooler boots before they become an issue?

They ripped. He was going up a hill with a backhoe, had his bully dog on tow and all of a sudden the truck had no power. Once we got out, the boot coming off the intercooler was ripped at the clamp.
