Anybody use a Trickflow Elbow?
I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the rubber grommet (that holds the IAT sensor) blowing out under boost?

Wish I could answer that question for you but I'm still not up and running. Maybe CALL911 or someone else can post a response.

Silas,

I had one on my car, but I was only running about 5-6 psi of boost. Never had any troubles. I'm going to be running the ATI elbow now with my new setup.

I used a small amount of silicone glue and 3 narrow tie wraps. One short one around the sensor and two long ones through the small one on either side and tightly around the elbow to leash the IAT to it.

I don't know of anyone under at least 15 psi that has ever had trouble. Keep in mind that the hole size isn't very large so boost pressure doesn't have much area to push against.
