Re:radiator charge pipes

radiator hose is built to hold pressure

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.

Re:radiator charge pipes

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.
