Cracked intercooler end tank :(

Well on my way home from the track. I was messing with my friend. WOT then no power so I pulled on the side of the road, car died, wouldn't start back up so I let it sit for 5 mns went to start it and it ran fine , just a cel, so I went to drive it and no boost. The hot side end tank cracked...... A lot
Called up RobSSTurbo and lent me his old intercooler.

Hahaha. Yes. I'm getting a new one under warranty. I'll most likeley sell it if anyone is interested? I'll take pictures. It is definitely time for a better intercooler. It broke ok factory boost too. And yes that is my friends speed 3. 327 wheel hp and he was running a 13.2 @ 107 on street tires. Crazy crazy car
