Polyvynilchloride is an expectable means of charge pipe on HMT. The carcinogenic chlorine based molecules that are released when energy is introduced into the compound are of no concern to us..

I appreciate all the info but I have seen to many setups with rubber elbows and pvc piping to change mine to complete aluminum. Also my setup is a stock d16y7 i dont want a y8 im, anways I would go z6 im not y8. Also skinnye what was your the motor you used them on, what psi, and what hp. I almost guarantee one of those exceed the rubber elbows capacity to sustain a solid state. ie too much pressure and heat. As sea level has a lot to do with this.
I live very close to sea level on the east coast.
Please check your English and re write the sentence correctly.
Why does this person use rubber elbows if they melt llike crazy? You used a pvc elbow, my guess is it got a hair line crack from expanding and progressed.
Also wrapping reistors in tape can make them explode due to the heat. Never heard of heat wrapping them.
Most of the replys are about changing things that are already done, ie im, elbows, piping, resistors. Im not going to change something thats already done and will work fine for what I want. As confucious sae would say theres more than one way to skin a cat.
This is HMT I love my y7 im, my resistors, my pvc, and my rubber elbows, I will not change it until my own expierence proves me wrong.

I was running around 10psi on an f22a1 power level i'm unsure, I had another buddy run one on his det swapped nx2000 the thing tore pretty quickly but the boost was kind of on the high side, if you want to go for cheap elbows that will hold up get some radiator hose. I've seen silcone couplers on ebay for around the same price as the rubber ones at the hardware store, also if you do decide to change the pvc pipe which I don't know why you would unless if it melts or breaks( I've never un it before) don't waste money on aluminum just get some cheapo mild steel.

I dunno about you but a lot of people have told me that if i wanna learn some stuff stick around here for awhile read some threads and make some posts. I guess I would call that HMT expierence.

Re: Few pictures before its done. 56k die!
i used ABS on my first setup, and homeboy depot couplers without a prob. except when my homemade boost controller fucked up, and blew the whole pipe from ic out to im off, and part of it landed on my exhaust housing and melted, but not all the way through. i pulled over and put it all back together and it worked great.
