Turbo Pipes???
What can I use for piping??? I was thinking of maybe getting some silicone hose, but I cant find any in 2 1/4". Does anybody know where to get good silicone hose that will hold up to boost?? I dont really want to go metal cuz I done have the $$$.
Thanx for input..:D |

We make a set of mandrel bent pipes for our intercooler systems. Trust me, go to a few exhaust shops or JC Whitney and buy some u-bends and make some pipes. If you want our kit its $1100.

Hey turboge,
Things not going well with the 1.6L turbo? I haven't heard any follow ups from you. I guess I'll just go with NOS instead. Later. ________ Head shop |
As always, everyone wants it, nobody really wants it.

Nobody wants it cause you are not posting progress.
Last I heard from you via a post was that your 1.6L was in the body shop, and that once it got back you would have it ready within a week. I'm interested in the turbo kit, but I'm not giving you cash until you have a proven product. ________ Colorado Medical Marijuana Dispensaries |
Last I heard on that car it was MIA, if you want to be the first one for the kit I don't see a problem in having the kit finished. Since this is not the topic of this thread we will discuss it elsewhere.

I agree with others regarding pipes bieng an important part of the system. If cost is really important check out miata.net forums and some guys use copper piping from home depot. Some systems actually looked realy nice....just an idea
|
hmmm copper piping sounds very suspect. I can't beleive it wouldn't be almost as expensive as iron or alluminum piping being that 2.5" doesn't seem like standard size. Also, I do beleive copper would be very, very suseptible to corrosion or otherwise reacting with fumes, oil spatter, or anything alse that goes on under the hood. The cost of mandrel bent alluminum piping is cheap for such a proven application.
