JD, this isn't the first time this has happened.
A while back a passenger side door was blown off and over the fence. Lucky no one was sitting were it landed.
Most pressure test their systems to 100 psi. The thermal cycling might be an issue

Build the IC's out of thicker material. They are exceeding the "design" limits of the intercoolers, with that comes risks.
THere was one pic where the weld held, but the material ripped right next to the weld.
