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 *** 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$

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
