charge pipe temps....before and after IC

I'm wondering what my options are for piping material... So does anyone know what the air temp is running from the turbo to the ic and then what it is from the ic to the tb?

plan on 200F as a worst case...so stick with aluminized steel.

I'm using aluminzed steel from http://www.jcwhitney.com and my air temps have been good so far. Don't have any exact numbers, but the piping is warm before the intercooler cold to the touch after the intercooler, so I'm happy. However, I've only had it this winter, so I haven't yet tested it in warm ambient air temps
