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)

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.
