Intake as a charge pipe?
While researching homemadeturbo I found a guy who used an ebay intake as a charge pipe. It looked good, but I was just curious to how it would perform? I assume it would be fine, but I just want to make sure.
Specifically, I was going to do this with a 91 hatch, however with the battery the way it is intakes are made to snake around it. I planned to move the battery to the rear so is there any other model intake I could use that would go straight down into the fender?
He aslo used an OBX BOV, he said it worked fine, does anyone have any experiance with these, or any cheap aftermarket BOVs for that matter?

Don't even weld the nipple fitting. Use that as a vacuum source for your wastegate. Tial instructions prefer a nipple close to the throttle body so that works out perfectly. I like it better than tapping the compressor housing because it gets a reading that accounts for pressure drop across the intercooler.

Ok, Ill probably get an ebay intake and give it a shot.
The D series hatchback intakes do "snake" around the battery, do you think that could be a problem?

I used an aem cai and chopped it up to use as the charge pipe. Works pretty good.

Re: Intake as a charge pipe? (tegunderpressure)
i just got done doing my charge pipes
i have a 90 HB so it will be just like waht u need
yes u can use intakes, but if its like my weapon R wich is 3 in is going to drop the boost pressure
AEM or any other that are like 2.25 or 2.5 will work
but get back to me and ill show u how it looks and how i did it to keep the batt there

A ~$200-250 CAI hacked up as a charge pipe isn't really cheap per "homemade turbo" standards...but if it's free, then by all means go for it!

Re: (Pikachu)
I used one on my turbo setup with the gsr manifold. Now I have a venom intake so I plan on using the integra LS cai that I ordered off of ebay. Here is a pic of my old setup:
