Coolant tank upgrade? What are the track guys running?

[chaiyz]

My 2001 Boxster S was purchased in March and had a leaking original coolant tank. It didn't seem that hard to replace till I got to it and after replacing I assumed that it would last at least 10 years.

Well, today I smelled the smell and thought I had a leak as I replaced the pump when I replaced the tank. I don't know why I pulled my carpeting first, but for some reason I just wanted to make sure and boy was I shocked when I realized the 4 month old tank was leaking in the same spot my original tank failed.

I'm looking for a permanent solution. Where are you guys buying almuinum tanks or are you running stock or home made tanks? Need input. I can't justify paying $400 for the porsche part and since paying $190 for a non-porsche part hasn't gone my way, I'm just ready to fix this once and for all.

Thanks for looking.
