rubber hoses, pipes, exhaust pieces, misc ---- you find or barrow...i dont like this setup though, it looks ghetto, but it works...

go to the junkyard and find some turbo cars can take all the charge piping, lots of people leave that ----...

Nothing wrong with ghetto, I like to referr to it as uniqueness, or alternative engineering

I used abs pipings and elbow for my charge pipes. It's cheap, easy to cut, and easy to get it where you want it to go. I had abs pipes from my t3/t4 turbo to my intercooler to my intake. It held 10psi of boost and didn't melt.

its black pipe. there is solid wall and foam core. i suggest the solid wall because its stronger and has a lower melting point.

also. u need under hood temps in the range of 300 F for this stuff to melt and give off any fumes. everyone on the board is always like "dont use plastic it melts and gets you high in you car"

lol so untrue.
