radiator hose is built to hold pressure ;D

Built to hold pressure, not build to resist heat ;) Just keep them away from the turbo, manifold, exhaust or any other hot spots and you'll be fine.

I think radiator hose for the bends in the charge pipe would be ok then just run straight pipe for the rest. If it was my car I would just get the straight pipe then mark where it needs to be bent and take it to the muffler shop and have it bent.
