    160 is thicker walled than 80 I think he wants sch 10 pvc to be thinner....

    Well Im hoping to make some ducting out of sheetmetal to go around one of the holes so I can attach my intake to it.
    havent worked on this yet.

    Still trying to get the truck off the jackstands!

    Need trans cooler and bleed the brakes, then see how she drives!

    Have you ever machined PVC? Let me know when you do, I'm buying a life insurance policy in your name with me as the beneficiary.

    While you're at it why don't you get some galvanized pipe and take a torch and burn the galvanizing off of it. Don't forget to call first.

    Just be sure you have plenty of milk nearby...

    All laughing aside I really like your idea and am patiently waiting to see it come together because I may be copying it.

    You'll be much better off going to the "intake" link I posted above and buy the aluminum tubing and couplers.

    BTW, listen to Greg!! The greatest risk comes from vinyl chloride, a primary component of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and an odorless gas which could be released with very high heat. Vinyl Chloride is a toxic carcinogen, which can cause a deadly primary liver cancer.
