The stock ones can develop micro cracks as they age and thus leak small amounts of boost. Also, have you ever seen how much they flex? Open your hood and watch them as someone steps on it a few times.

New to the club

G'day,
I have happily just acquired an '03 JCW EB from my father in law. Great to know where it has been & what has been done. I have a few mods coming to add to a couple already in place. Photos in my gallery.
Cheers
