They blow due to oil fatigue of (RB outlet) silicone and the expansion and contraction cos it's a shit material to use for outlets. Mine burst in areas that are not exposed to extreme heat, I wrapped the parts nearest the manifolds.

Yeaaaaaah, I tried that with the MMP outlets. I had gold foil as well as the actual fiberglass/metal DEI shielding on the outlets. Still blew up.
I think the lack of aluminum outlets for the 2" size is brutal.
Hopefully my RB evo style outlets last. I do not love being limited to only that style outlet but the compressor housings are clocked so the outlets are far away as possible from the manifolds. I have seen a decent amount of posts where the coupler failed on the VRSF aluminum outlets.
Yeah my GCs blew up about 3 weeks ago.
The China 17Ts have shown great results. Not far off my GCs to be honest.
I think there are various limitations in the system.
I had to limit boost on my GCs in low rpm to avoid the risk of bending rods and in the high rpm I generally kept to 27 psi max. Just to keep the stock engine happy.
I've had my rb outlets for 3 years. They've done well. I will closely inspect them once fitting the 19Ts.
So honestly I don't think a China 19T will be a limitation for me and at around $1000 I can't complain.
