    Silicone couplers to use?

    So my silicone coupler finally decided to get a hole in it and lose all of my boost. I have a bottom mount turbo that is plumbed above the sub-frame so that area gets very hot. I replaced it with an amazon HPS coupler that was supposed to be rated to 350F. I had this on the track for 2 sessions and it got a hole in it. So now I am looking for a good coupler that can holed the heat like my first one I had on there. That one lasted about 4 years. Anyone have recomendations for a good coupler that can take high heat?

    Thanks

    Michael
