Aluminized Steel, (exhaust piping)
Rubber Hose (radiator hoses, stock IC charge piping)
Plumbing ---- from Home depot, Rubber hose there, just dont expose it to close to the manifold. Some people use PVC piping, but I think its absolutely ridiculous. Even that black piping ABS plastic is kinda homo to use but people use it. I like using aluminum but its kind of expensive, so just go with some mandrel bends (aluminized steel)

well I was just going to mandrel bent piping coming off the turbo, rubber to and from the intercooler then, alum. piping from there to the throttlebody, would that have any effect on boost?

honestly, everyone around says if you can find a cold air intake for your car, that is a really good pipe to use to the throttle body. the rest of the piping could be rubber line, if you can find a stock DSM turbo car at a junkyard, the rubber hoses they have for the turbo are good.
