Cool. I'll be doing that first then... I mean, then I dont even need to leave my garage, just a hacksaw and some glue! When I've tested the system, just take all the boost pipes to an exhaust shop and get them copied in ss/steel. Thanks.

I wouldn't recomend it when pvc heats up it will emit chemicals over time that rot your seals and gaskets. Its terrible on a motor. I'm not sure how it works but if you dont believe me ask someone that knows a little more about it.

thats a PVC charge pipe normal pvc is rated to 280psi!! no ---- it was printed on the side before i wrapped and painted it. the only down side to pvc is that it CONDUCTS HEAT!!!! once the charge pipe got hot it stayed hot for a long ass time!! also is you looks at the pic the place where i mounted my BOV got soft from the heat and my bov fell off while driving :( but this was only once. good for temporary but just go to an exhaust shop and get 1 made for less than 10$ ;D

I used PVC for 4 month's...my intercooler was close to the tuirbo so it was connected with a hose there...but after that it was all PVC...it held great very light, just use PVC Glue/cement it will never blow...it holds up to 70psi
