Procharger plenum cracked again... Well my plenum has cracked for like the 4th time. So I think instead of welding it again I just need to get a new one. Does anyone have a metal plenum for the F-body kit laying around that they don't need anymore. I would really like to get a polished plenum too if someone has one. Please pm me so we can work out the details. Thank you.

Just weld it up.....the box is not the problem.....you need a better bypass
Check out my thread when my box blew up

get rid of it and do a Y setup.
flows better, no broken boxes.
procharger will sell the Y for a very reasonable price and then you just have to come up with a little custom tubing on your own.
we did this on my buddy's car is it's way better than the crappy box ati uses.

The only reason the aluminum plenum will crack is if the bypass cannot vent the air out quick enough.....the air has to go somewhere if the tb is closed....since you have cracked the plenum multiple times you need a better flowing bypass to release the pressure better
Here is a pic of the y set-up though

Yeah, I had changed to the ATI Race valve after the second time. Oh well maybe I will look at it again and throw a Tial on there as well.
But after it broke the first time did you change the bypass?
