90degree silicone elbows OFF the intercooler?
Ive been looking at a place called hitempsilicone who sells turbo couplers that have a 400psi burst pressure and its 26$ for 12" of tubing cut to size. What I was wondering is would it be ok to run a 90 degree elbow off each side of the interooler instead of the 90* metal pipes..without having to worry about them breaking??I know reg. couplers are fine but ive never delt with silocone elbows.. Im only going to be running 12psi through a 70mm. The material is 4ply,good to constant 500* temps and has a lifetime warantee. They are 45$ a piece in price and seems like a pretty good deal.

We got them over here, the silicone fittings are great, we sell only 4/5ply fittings due to lower plys breaking on other silicone. The more expensive fittings are the way to go, the cheap ones on ebay have given us alot of hassle in the past.

1 90* 3.25" elbow..if possible stepped to a 3"(from maf to LT1 TB)--if they make such a thing
1 3-2.5" transition coupler

if your coming off your throttle body at the same original angle then use the vortech or trick flow elbow. if your going straight thru and if front of your radiator you need a 4" to 3.5" silicone. the tb is same as 4" round silicone and maf is 3.5" if it helps
