It might rust due to condensation, if you live in SOCAL then go for it but if you live in canada, dont. it all depends on temperature change and weather, I say coat the whole thing with ceramic paint both inside and out.

how is it gona rust? it will probly get coated in a light coat of oil anyway. I wouldn't waste time painting the inside.

There's no need to do anything to the inside of the charge pipes.

just look at it this way: if you're lucky and you're cool enough your motor will blow before you have to worry about it.

PVC pipes? seriously you can use those? Would be so much ------- easier and more accessable to me

And no welding, jb weld for the BOV mount

yeah you could actually use pvc pipe, it's been done on here by someone before. Worked fine for that individual.
