This is interesting. I bet a crack started at the inlet flange of the last picture you posted, or there were other hairline cracks in the cooler. Being cast aluminum, and the combination of manifold pressure and super heated charge air, the flaws in the housings just wouldn't stay together.
Whats next? Air to water charge air cooler and a log intake plenum?
