The only thing I can think of that's flexible and would hold that much pressure is radiator hose. JC Whitney sells mandrel bent steel piping that's cheap and can be cut and routed however you want.
How soon will you have your intercooler? I'd just wait till it comes in and do the job once instead of twice.

i wouldnt even do that cuz with no load, that turbo is gonna be overspinning at even 1000 rpm.

Re: (ginoboy1978)
nah, i don't drive over 2500, and i use external tial gate, i don't have the flange on the turbo so the wastegate hole is wide open.

Re: (d0nfry)
so you are driving your car around with just a manifold and turbo, please tell me you at least have the oil lines hooked up.
the open wastegate hole might prevent over-spinning but why risk it? you also risk something getting into your wheels, just too many factors that could completely waste your $1000 investment.
find some other means of transportation until you are completely done the install

That's because you shouldnt be gasing it.
Anyways, you can run to home depot grab what you'll need to make it work in PCV.

That thing still doesnt go anywhere. Plus he has no FMIC to show or BOV to blow off every 5 seconds.

Re: (d0nfry)
I'd say you could try going to a big diesel truck place maybe? Use like peterbuilt rad hose? I dont know but its worth a shot, or even the PVC pipe will work for the short term, just get pvc and the thread sealant and your set
