custom turbo inlet?

[intak3_bLkMs3]

hey guys i have a friend who is a great welder and could bend the piping on a turbo inlet for me im curious as to what metals i should look into getting i was thinkin stainless steel would be the best. also if he makes one up pretty good and it works i might offer to make some and sell them with a guarentee here for a much lower margin then acp or whatever is makin on there's. thanks guys

Could he make them for all of us???????

I would use aluminum. Stainless is good for exhaust work, not the intake because it holds heat much better than aluminum. Looks like the going rate for inlets is about $200-230. If he could do them for less than that, he may have some business here.

I just bought my rpmc for 250 and it was ceramic and powder coated

yes he could make them for all of us of course both of us will make a margin on it but im guessing its not gonna be as expensive as 275 the margin im shooting to make for the two of us is maybe 90 bucks total im sure aluminum is cheaper then steel. if the turbo inlet go's well we might make a test pipe as well so we'll see
