Default Dorman ls6 replacement intake

Has anybody actually used this intake manifold with boost? I have seen threads where people said they were going to use it but I have not seen any results. I know it flows well based on the tests I've seen. I'm just worried about if it will blow apart with 15-16 psi.

Damn, the only review from a boosted guy I have seen. I should be able to get one cheap from a parts supplier at my work but I don't want to throw money away.

Well, it looks like I have some more time for some reviews. When I was doing a burnout the other night I saw a little bit of smoke come from under the hood so I shut it down. Upon further investigation today the white smoke was from oil getting on the y-pipe coming off my turbo. The oil got there because there is a hole in the side of my block. I have no idea how it happened because there was no engine noise. It will start right now with no noise also so I have no idea what happened. I'll try to upload a video I have from during the burn out.
