Default how thick should the piping be for a turbo manifold??

a friend of mine is gonna make a turbo mani for me, so i went and bought the piping for it but he says he thinks it's too thin ( looks a lil bigger then 1/8th thick) so how thick should the piping be to hold up to the high temp.????

All you had to do was go to Mc Master site, page 11, look for the specs on the elbow it should tell you how thick it is.


Sheeeesh! Now was that hard?
