Turbo Project



www.burnstainless.com
www.force-efi.com

Burns can supply stainless and aluminum straight, u-bends, j-bends whatever
(including inconel, titaniium!!)The bends are mandrel bent.  They are NOT
cheap.
Force supplies aluminum pieces, but they get it from Burns and proably don't
stock it.
For regular old steel mandrel bent tube (that is not aluminized which effs
up welds!!) try J.C. Whitney.
For silicone hose and clamps:
www.roadraceengineering.com
www.turboneticinc.com

turbonetics is generally non-responsive and roadrace is paranoid about
credit card abuse which makes the first order a hassel.
I wouldn't use straight tubing with silicone bends cause the silicone bends
are very tight.
This is all just my opinion based on the limited dealings I've had with the
above companies.
