CPVC for hardpipes ?
Anyone try CPVC for hardpipes ? It's good to 210 F, unlike regular PVC. I figure a few 45 elbows and some 3 inch and I can get rid of my accordian hose.

Well, I've got the stock air box, so the Ebay won't fit. Gotham I'm not familiar with. Also the CPVC will cost about $20 for intake AND intercooler. I found someone who used them for a turbo mustang, so I'm checking to see how they held up for him.

Let us know how it works out!

Yeah, she does all the mods to her car, but when something goes wrong, guess who has to fix it?
I'm afraid to give her a boost controller because she would probably blow up her car!

An intake is one thing.. I think that's fairly common.
Someone posted pics here a few years back when he rigged up some regular PVC to his single turbo just to move the car down the street.. it melted the tubing after the turbo in no time. I know it's not CPVC but I think I'd still try to use something else.

Yeah, that is a good point. I might leave out the turbo -> ic hose for now. I know that post intercooler, my ic mister keeps the temps below 140 F. There's another plastic called PVDF (kynar) that is good to like, 1800 degrees, but it's harder to find.
