Default Welding question with aluminum

Ok getting ready to turbo my civic hatch and wondering somethings before I start buying all my stuff. I have a JRC intercooler. Going to go with some aluminum charge pipes because I heard that they were better. Only problem is I don't have anyone around me that can weld TIG but I heard that you can weld Aluminum with a MIG? don't know if that is true.

Also what size bends should I go with? Getting my bends and straights from atpturbo.com

You can, but you need a special feed gun, it's a pain in the ***, and it's 10 times harder to make them look good.

Ok well then I will look a little hard for a TIG welder in my area.

Now what about those bends how many do you think I need?
