I'd use truck radiator hose and straight pipe over that.

This is what I'm doing for the time being.

I got a mix and match of hoses, pvc piping and a small metal pipe.
It works for me...running with up to 15 psi boost creep.

I've read before that when PVC gets hot it releases a chemical that is bad for your motor.
