Default Rust In The Charge Pipe?

hey guys,
Just received my turbo kit from another member and had a questionb about rusting inside of the charge pipe. The rust if noticeable and it's not huge chunks, it's more like "dust" particle rust. My question is, would I need to replace the pipe or is it still salvageable?

i would just try to remove as much as possible, if its just starting get it powdercoated or something to keep it from continuing to rust. even just a good spray paint would work, just let it dry very good before using it.

Just to let you know, I'm talking about the inside of the pipe

Bead blast the inside of the pipe and then rinse it out well and blow it dry with compressed air or put it in the over for a few minutes. It will probably be fine for a long time.
