Who has boosted the Dorman LS2 intake?
My $388 Amazon Dorman LS2 intake has held 15-16 psi hundreds of times so far on a, new for this season, turbo build.
As well as all last year, bracket racing (with some street fun & test and tunes) with a 200-250 wet shot of nitrous.
I haven't read or heard of one coming apart, but would be curious to see some links, if there have been any around here.

and I found absolutely nothing...
In fact, haven't had any luck finding ANY history of failures of the Dorman LS2 intakes...
When I first got my car back together, after the turbo addition, a few months back, I went a bit too far retarded on ignition timing, causing fairly pronounced backfiring through the intake on quick throttle changes...if it was going to blow apart, I'd think it would have then...if not then, then definitely during a nitrous backfire...
OR, it simply isn't a legitimate, fact based, worry...

Look on Yellowbullet, thats where I seen them. Both failures of the LS2 and LS6 dorman intakes.
Facebook used to be full of them when one of the guys on the sloppy mechanics facebook page blew one up right after they released at ~20 PSI.

Bottom Line...
If you have to dig all around the internet, and look that hard to try to find an issue...then there really isn't an issue.
I'll let everyone know how mine holds up. I got one from Amazon warehouse deals for $138.00
It's missing some items like the fuel rail brackets and o rings, but I'll piece that together (unless someone has spares?).

I've been running 15lbs on mine. I have one of the first one when they just came out. I've yet to see a failure. To anyone claiming they have seen failures, I'd be interested in seeing proof, not just a he said she said or I heard it on the internet kind of thing. Link it. Prove it. pics. video. Something, otherwise I dont see truth in any claims. I've seen 19psi on mine to.
