Where does everyone shop for turbo plumbing? I see some couplers and elbow on Ebay for what seems like cheap... but are they cheap quality? Curious where everyone else shops for couplers, elbows and piping.

 

I used to buy stuff from vortech but they want too much for the plumbing.

Last time I bought some couplers from turbonetix.

Napa sells silicoln couplers by the foot.

Otherwise, i'd like to know as well.

Try your local diesel shops.

 

I used Hose techniques for the silicone tubing...they offer tons of different colors and configuratons ...Plus they are about 1/3 of the price of turbonetics sleeving..and you cant really tell the difference...


For tubing I used 2 places...for mild steel I just used the local diesel shop...they sell 4" mandrel bends..etc..

For stainless tubing I used burns stainless for the OVAL stainless exhaust tubing and Stainless works for custom mandrel bent tubing..FWIW I would have used stainless works for everything BUT their mandrel bender only does UP TO 3.5" diameter..

Youngs performance sells aluminum tubing and elbows. Turbohoses.com has everthing you can think of for couplers.

 

Try www.vecco.net . good quality, they also sell on ebay for less than on the site.............

 

I did my entire twin turbo setup w/ HTS. In fact, I'm a dealer for them now. The 4-ply aramid is some of the best stuff you can use.

 

I bought a lot of the IC setup parts for the Talon from Road Race Engineering. They're a DSM vendor but they have a wide variety of intake/exhaust pieces at reasonable prices.

I used the nitrile/SBR rubber 3-ply hose for the couplings, I just got a few feet of it and cut to fit. It's about half as expensive as the silicone couplings, and so far it's held up for a year and to continuous 24 psi passes.

Unless I can find somewhere cheaper they are who I'm ordering all my aluminum pipes and couplings from for the Camaro's IC setup.

Go to a truck shop, they usually have some NICE Clamps, and tons of elbows...yet the pricing is pretty insane..
