Has anyone had any issues with your dealer and the use of metal charge pipes and warranty claims?

Mine blew today, 35k miles N55 stock boost and is currently sitting at the dealer while they inspect it. No engine lights or warning. A quick 2-3 WOT pull and heard a loud pop. Limped it back to my office to find a chunk of plastic missing from the TB coupler side of the charge pipe.

Does anyone know if the same issue is experience on the turbo side? Seems most reports are of the cool side pipe cracking.

I've been planning the CP upgrade for a while but really wanted to do it at the same time as the IC upgrade. Looks like I'll be digging into it sooner than later. :-/
