MSD AirForce intake

Will an MSD AirForce intake hold up to 10 - 12 PSI of boost?

MSD tested it at 30psi without problem, don't know for real life result but that would be pretty lame if they don't hold 12psi.

That wouldn't be an issue.

They barely hold vacuum without a lot of care, let alone boost. Wouldn't even consider it. Waste of money and high risk.

I totally agree
These intakes make power, but they can't even hold a seal without boost.
I've torqued mine 4 times and still have a leak somwhere, the bolts are always loose.
pretty sad for a $1k intake.

I’ve had zero issues with mine. People keep saying the bolts don’t stay tight but how many of those actually READ the instructions. Torque is supposed to be done in 2 stages. I started 40inlbs then the 75 it calls for. After final tq I did a final pass to make sure they were at correct tq. I used blue locktite also. I’ve checked the bolts along with other things I check on a weekly basis. None have came loose.
