There have been how many 135's produced between 2008 and 2013?
How many have had a failed chargepipe?

They have been known to fail on stock boost... so this is a proper question.

10% failure rate... maybe 15% failure rate. I doubt it's close to either number.

People with issues post. People with no issues post alot less, if at all. So your google search option doesn't really prove anything other than there has been some failures.

Do I think the chargepipes Mike sells on extreme power house are better then the stock pipe. yes, absolutely.

Does that mean the stock pipe is inadaquate and will crack and fail. Absolutely not.

I trust the advice I was given from two sources that have no reason to have me get it or not. They just said it was not needed in my case and I should be fine. They also told me that if I wanted it thats fine also. I was given honest advice.
