TID mod using PVC piping - specific questions
I've decided to use 2.5 inch PVC piping to do the TID mod. I have a few specific questions that I was unable to find searching. 1) Since I am using 2.5 inch piping (actually it is 2 - 3/8 OD) it meets flush with the turbo intake. I would like to fasten the piping right against the turbo intake to reduce any turbulance that could result in sudden changes in diameter. Is it a bad idea to have PVC piping directly against the turbo intake? I can't imagine that section of the turbo being hot enough to damage the PVC. 2) Do I need a certain kind of PVC glue to withstand the heat of the engine compartment? I bought some standard piping cement which I beleive will work fine, but I would like to be sure. I appreciate your responces. By the way, I am going with 2.5 piping to clear the air pump, so don't tell me to use 3".
thanks,

I've seen a lot of other people using PVC as well as write ups for using it, so I thought it would be alright to use it. Has anyone experienced noxious fumes from using PVC? I can't imagine temeratures being high enough for this to happen, considering how much plastic crap is already in the engine bay.

im using....
im using a pice of 3" muffler pipe with a slight bend in it to go from the turbo to the AFM then a span of curved pvc from the AFM down through where the sprayer bottle was and i have my filter mounted down in the front bumper.
i had to remove the brake duct on that side.
the muffler pipe gets hot... thats why i didnt use pvc right there. the whole CAI cost me about $20..
just a thought. maybe use 2.5" pipe for your setup... they sell all kinds of bends and stuff on jegs, summit, and ebay.
