flexible piping for intercooler
okay, i was looking on jcwhitney.com and they had this... http://www.jcwhitney.com/produ...=jcw2...flexible piping made for exhaust systems...could i use this stuff for my intercooler piping? i mean its made out of steel and its flexible so i wont have to worry about incorrect bends...do you think this would work?

You'll be hard pressed to get that stuff to bend in a radius small enough that you'll be able to use it. Look at the picture.. that's about the smallest radius bend you'll be able to get out of it, and that's way too big.

I would venture to guess that if you replaced it with solid piping you would see a dramatic difference. Just because you can maintain boost doesn't mean there is no loss and in effect making the turbo much less efficient because it has to make up for the lost pressure.
