pvc full melting point is about 290

abs around 300, but abs will stand up to high temps like hot water etc..

the cold section stays pretty cold providing your sucking in cold air..

the exhaust part could get upwards of 800f

Re:MELTING POINTS!?!?

as a general rule of thumb should you use silicone hose if connecting anything to the turbo? has anyone had any bad experiences with melting rubber?
thanks
