I mean, if they work, then why not? They are cheap, easy to work with, and light weight...

Re: PVC boost pipes
I've done it, Works fine, but I do suggest running a steel or aluminum pipe anywhere near the turbo. I use 1 4" peice on the oulet and it deformed by the end of the season. The rest was all behind the bumper and I worked fine. Try to find the nice large radius bends instead of the tight 90deg. They will flow MUCH better.

Most people do not do it because it looks like ***. How long it lasts is often a function of the turbo you're running. I usually go and spank every turbo setup I do for at least a few minutes and I've found that even the home depot rubber connectors will melt if on the turbo outlet.

I should say not PVC but the Black ABS piping. Just use the proper contact cement that is intended for it and it will out last any hose clamp and coupler.
Doesn't look like *** either. It's all black, paint chips don't matter on your flat black steel pipes and it won't corrode for YEARS!
