no one uses PCV pipe.....
Yes, actually...... my friend used it for his 240...... he turboed it and used PVC for his BOV connection and a couple of things.................
just buy some metal.........
mandrel bent if possible..... if your going to go MADDDDD cheap... why not use some crush bent exhaust piping from like canadian tire (yes I'm Canadian), or parts source or whatever you guys have in the usa..........
but crush bent pipes will cause serious velocity issues...... it just plain SUCKS for flow......
buy some mandrel stuff.... it only cost be 300 for all my piping, 5 ply silicone connectors, and my time to put it together........ that 300 was CDN by the way..

Hel Ya I rocked that ---- for a year 
One thing is make sure your pipes have a bead, cause those are more likely to pop off than silicone. They also don't hold up to heat very well. I had one 90 degree one that blew out the side 3 times. Never had any problems with the straights.

Re: PCV anyone?
uhh, your talking about charge piping right?
boost doesn't flow, it fills. doesn't matter if its mandrel, crushed, or whitey bends- just changes its appearance.
i had a hard time trying to figure this out at first, until a math teacher and my auto teacher explained it to me. :1

Coulda got by with 3 less plys and aluminized steel.
Welds also are way better than clamps. Only couplers should be in the IC, TB, and Turbo.
