If your Turbo Intake charge temps are that HOT, you have a serious problem.. I highly doubt you could melt PVC pipes with that kind of setup.

The only thing that is BAD that I know of on using plastic pipes (pvc especially), is when they get hot enough they will release fumes out that are bad for the engine.

If you wanna show off that ugly black intercooler... sand the ---- out of it... and go out and get yourself some shiny aluminum High Temp engine paint... spray it in thin coats. and it looks like it was polished.. and it should withstand oil and road grime
