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?

 

i doubt that stuff will seal under boost...

 

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.

 

wont hold boost.

 

radiator hose can be your best friend.

 

yeah that thing is a b*tch to bend and like everyone else said, you're bound to lose boost with it...

 

I’m using it and it works good hold 10psi no problem

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.

 

Did you use fiberglass to patch it up from the outside?
