My personal opinion is use what ever you can get made up easily and within your budget. steel, ally or stainless will work fine on a road car. Your better off spending your time and money improving flow and cooler efficiency.




Now if you want to get all technical about it, here is my 2 cents worth.

Turbo to Intercooler - Use aluminium. This will allow you to start knocking down the inlet temp before the intercooler.
Aluminium has the best heat transfer of the three materials and the compressed air will be a lot hotter than your engine bay temp. Anyone who thinks otherwise obviously has no idea about what happens to air when it is compressed. Yes it will get a little heat soak while sitting at the traffic lights but compared to your on boost temps it is nothing.

Intercooler to inlet - I would use stainless and wrap it in insulation so that the cooled air doesn't get any hotter.

Note my use of colour. Very Happy
