: Nitrile hoses?

So, while I was fabricating my IC plumbing I was a little cheap and used nitrile elbows instead of silicone. For the most part they have held up well, but the one at the turbo outlet is starting to balloon a bit. I imagine this is due to the heat there and not just the pressure. I only have one replacement on hand, so before I crank in a little more boost I was hoping someone could tell me if this was a normal condition, or if I should expect to hear a very loud roaring sound in the very near future!:D

How did I know someone was going to tell me that?:(
I guess I know where the tax refund is going!
