So dumb question but wanted to make sure i didn't look like an ***!

I was talkin to a friend about pipe and if he could get some and told him blah blah turbo blah.....we he went and asked his "buddy" that has built kits for race cars and trucks and all that ****.....well he says sched. 40 is way overkill and no reason for it!
When you build a manifold for a turbo you use a heavy pipe like schedule 40 or somthing like that right?
You do not use aluminized exhaust pipe?

Schedule 40 holds in heat and keeps temps cooler right?
It also will last much longer right?
harder to work with but better in the long run?

What are yallls suggestions. Kyle chime in and tell me what you think..

 

The heavier the better. There is incredible pressure and heat in the turbo hot pipes (anywhere from 2 to 4x the amount of boost you see in the intake manifold), plus they have to support the weight of the turbo.

 

I only use sced 40 for the manifold cuz it's can't get steel pipe parts in sced 10 (about 1/8" think). That and it last a lot longer and doesn't crack nearly as easily. It's over kill, but not that much. It's nice cuz it holds the heat and doesn't require you to brace if you run a large, heavy turbo like Thunder does. For the rest of the system, I use 16ga. aluminized steel tubing.

 

nice thanks for your help guys i was just wanting to make sure! Kyle ill be talkin to ya soon it seems nonnie has been talking to ya also!
