I used one for a short time... the rubber coupler hoses exploded, and the PVC got soft to the touch after a few runs, non intercooled.

I wouldnt do it again... but if you wanted to use a few ABS bends or something in a mostly steel / alum system, I would consider it.

LOL I use it pre-turbo and it is ok, but for the IC piping, heck no!
