charge piping.
well, i finally ran my charge piping, but im not sure how many psi it will be able to hold. the way i have it run is temporary until my order from summit goes through and arrives at my house (im ordering mandrel bent j bends and going to weld it all together.). for now, i just have straight exhaust pipe, and rubber elbows. will that hold 6-8 psi, or should i stay out of boost for the most part until i get the bend's in? im just curious, because i dont really want to wait until i get the new charge pipe fabbed up. anyways, post up your opinions. here are some pics of how the charge pipe is run.

Re: charge piping.
straight hood. I can definitely see that that first after the IM is gonna pop off after a
couple rounds of boost. It looks like you used a staight coupler instead of a 45 deg.
It's really not a big deal thou. If it pops off just pull the car overand put it back on.

yes, they are home depot elbows, which i know will get flimsey when hot. i think im going to go up to napa and get some truck radiator hose because i hear that they hold up better. if i start having problems i will just weld it all together wtih some mandrel j bends. i just want everyone's opinion.
