PVC piping?? it might melt though. it could be bought at home depot or lowes or any hardware store...

someone once posted some carbon fiber charge piping, but it would be way expensive....so if money isnt an issure, find the thread and contact him.

well you can use pvc on the cold side of the intercooler. It won't melt. If you use it before it will. My friend kept blowing charge pipes cus if it. It would heat up and then the metal hose clamp would make it smaller and then pop off. I used metal on all of mine but I am going to heat wrap it from the intercooler to the intake manifold. That way it stays colder longer. If your turbo outlet on your turbo is small enough you can use CROME sink drain line. Thats what I have used and it works greatand looks great. Just take off all the sticker on it and people think that you spent lots of money on it. Cost me about 20 bucks for all of it. Plus they are mandrel bent. I used 1.5 inches but I think that you can get 2" also.

I just posted in your wtb thread. I have some flexible 2" diameter rubber hose that can be bent 90 degress or more, it works good enough if you're not going over about 8 psi.
