Default Junkyard turbo guys?

You guys with your junkyard turbos, where do you get your IC piping from? How do you get it to fit? Do you have a muffler place bend some aluminum pipe or something?

For me at least, it's a matter of buying mandrel bends, and a little massaging with the hack saw and MIG welder.

I would have preferred aluminum but it is too expensive and I don't have the equipment to do it.

Summit is definately the best price around.

2" J-bends (great for IC piping) are only $11.95 each. 2.5" J-bends are only $16.95.

I used only 3 2" J-bends to make my insanely complicated intercooler pipes. 2 2.5" J-bends and 5' of straight pipe made my downpipe and exhaust.
