toruo = IC pipe?

[BadForm]

Okay... I'm noticing that some of you have replace the flex hose between the turbo and IC with a nice curved pipe?

Is that the turbo Buick IC to TB pipe cut to fit?
I would LOVE to replace my skanky, dirty, oily, using up space flex hose.

If it's not the Buick piece, where to get? How much? Links?

Thanks!

i just made mine one night while dicking around at my friends shop.

some mild stainless 90* bend pipe with some silicone connectors and some t bolt clamps.

as eric wright said, eazy DuZ it.

alot of us are using radiator hose, just find one that looks like it will work and cut to fit. You can also get some nice T-bolt clamps from the local Semi truck parts dealer in you area. Ken

if we are going to get that pipe made or make it to mount the BOV to, should we have it made of stainless steel or aluminum.... what are you guys that have BOV's using

I just made one out of a piece of 2 1/2" j-bend for building headers, Had a flange for Greddy BOV tig welded on and a rig welded around the ends to help hold the rubber hoses on.I have to send it out and get it Jet Hot coated. In the plumbing department at your local Home Depot or Lowes they have a rubber hose with a stainless steel sleeve and clamps that works great for the two rubber hoses.

umm if you are using the HKS BOV, it wont matter. they make the flange for it in both steel and aluminum...

IMO, i'd go all stainless if you can.....
