hmm, i dunno about PVC. the fact that you can use a heat gun to bend it into shape, what is a turbo if it isn't an air heater?
one of my friends was using pvc piping as an interim measure on his car we put a GTIR SR20 DET into, but held together with electrical tape, he took me for a drive to work out why it was so sluggish. turns out it blew all the tape off and was just blowing air out all over the place. i said "maybeye it is this giant gaping hole in your cooler pipes"
he tapes it back up reall good and it went off tap, until it made a "pop" noise and blew all the tape off again.
short version: don't use PVC pipe on a turbo engine.
i'd say, do it yourself, buy the bends at an exhaust place, heaps of good hose clamps, some straight pipe and decent quality radiator hose.
