try http://www.atpturbo.com
2" silicone connectors for $6 each.
they have reducers, elbows, etc.
the rubber homedepot connectors don't last real long and they will blow out/split if you nick them.

I used nitriel tubing from mcmaster.com.... Its bascially reinforced radiator hose that is made to deal with the oil and other contaminants. I have not had any problems yet.

3 ft is about $24 and I cut them in about 3" pieces. Plently left over.

My friend used the same stuff on his turbo setup. Works well and its a good price.

Airtronics, I need you to do me a favor. Can you go to mcmaster and link us up from the thread. I'm being lazy, and thier site has soooooo much ---- on it, I usually get mad and come back to HMT. That would be swell. Thanks. ::) ???

Bounce, are you using the marine hose as the entire charge pipe or cutting it in sections and using it as couplers? Where can I source this stuff?
