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.
