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?
