Question DIY turbo header elbow thickness ??

Looking for opinions on if I need to use schedule 10 or 0.065 thickness tubing elbows from port to log.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OD-38MM-1-5-Sanitary-Weld-Elbow-Pipe-Fitting-90-Degree-Stainless-Steel-316-SUS-/271287490261?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f29fe96d5
The 3 inch diameter elbows I got from them are about 0.080 thickness.

Can I use these or must I use schedule 10 ?

What thickness is the aftermarket headers for turbo applications?

for those type headers the schedule 10 seems to be the best ticket, more resistant to cracking
