Has anyone ever heard of using PVC piping instead of metal? are there any problems with using it instead?

Im sure its been tried and failed. Ive heard of people using all kinds of stuff but in the end steel or aluminum is the way to go.

You can use PVC. Heat won't dissipate as efficiently tho and it should be a fun time with it on the hot side.

the place i am getting all the IC kits for the tib kits is really well priced..

i was really impressed with the piping, rolled ends, aluminum, 2mm thick, mandrel bent.

PM me if your interested.

also, if you need the piping set up like the kit you bought, you could sent all that IC piping here, and i could make you a kit with the alum. piping.

I was not intending to use this permanently. mostly i was wandering if the kit i had purchased would be fine on reusing PVC since ive never heard of it being used in a turbo setup. i do plan on redoing the piping for a better IC than what it was made for as well.

SOCKS i may hit you up on that offer. once i get the kit and see how fitment is. i may also see about an IC, and new T3/T4 turbo from you as well so that i can get everything at once.
