I have an eBay CAI sitting around and I was thinking of doing the same thing if I end up not having enough money for some good charge piping. Can I JUST jbweld it or does it actually need to be welded up the right way?

JB weld will work if you do a good job applying it.

alright is there any other options for charge piping besides the PVC trick? Is there any sort of tubing that is flexible that would work? Kinda like radiator hose but only bigger and more flexible?

Sorry to thread jack by the way...just thought this was a good time to ask that...

Worst case just get some crsuh bent pipes from your local shitzone parts store as you can usuall find something close.Racing solutions has some killer deals on intercooler building kits right now though at 35 for 4 bends enough to do the charge piping.

well I have that CAI I can use up top. I was just looking for something to bend from the CAI, to the IC and from the IC to the turbo.

You could try some of that flexable pipe used for exhaust repair it should work if your rocking the Mr Noodles budget for this.I used some briefly on a old setup and it seemed to hold fine for low boost like 6 psi.

JB weld is the right way negro. O0


On the other posts you made:
Just get some pipes and couplers. They really are not that expensive. Buy some bends from discreteautoparts.com (sp?), they are dirt cheap. It will cost you almost as much in PVC.
