Oh, and Tony, the Vortech's plastic piece doesn't get boost. It is on the intake side of the compressor.
Chris I would not worry about the plastic. If the manifold will hold vac then it will hold pressure. I'm not saying it would hold 1,000 lbs. but then you arent going to put anywhere near enough pressure on it to burst. You would be surprized at how much pressure it would take to make it fail.
