Default turbo pipes????? where do I get them????????

I was looking for a place I could get some turbo pipes. It can be stainless or some good quality pipes. I wanted to know from guys that built there own turbo and see where they got it from. Any info would help. I will be taking some welding courses and want to use my time there to mess with my car also. Right now I am just looking for pipes. I have seen a few good turbos from sponsors here and I might be making a few phone calls in this coming up weeks.

Great info guys. Are ebay pipes cheaper or the same quality? I buy stuff all the time on ebay but I have heard about the quality of ebay turbos and I was thinking on the pipes if they were cheaper than regular also?

Since ebay is not a brand how do you awnser that? You have to look at the specs of whatever you are buying and determine if it is good or not.

Won't find it any cheaper than at Ace Stainless. Quality is top notch as well.
