Custom intercooler piping is usually made up using preformed mandrel bends tig welded together.

Normal press bends vary in diameter through the bend and aren't usually bent as tightly as mandrel and doughnut bends.

I've been looking into making up my own aluminium piping for my R32 and after pricing the 90 deg. bends(7for$180), pipe(1.5m $30),tig welding(maybe <$100) and silicone joiners(4x$20ea)/reducers(2x$40ea) so now I'm thinking of going in on one of the group buys for $500.

You maybe able to do it cheaply in mild steel exhaust tube but I don't know if the pipe bender you have can give you the type of results you would be happy with.

Do a search in the tutorials as I saw a 'how to' thread there for a 32 using the behind the intercooler return pipe which is easier than the conventional piping route.

Hey guys, just a quick note as i just did mine too, i would'nt recommend mild steel as such because under heat and with moisture it will rust fairly quickly and you don't want that shit in ur engine hehe. I did however find that some exhaust shops have "aluminised" mild steel mandrel bends(about $20 ea) or as i did you can just buy a mandrel tailpipe with heaps of bends in it and cut what you want! All up the pipe cost me $75, not bad i thought.

Anyway good luck....

Get one from Raf in the group buys.

I got mine from him a few weeks ago. Now they are even cheaper.

[r33gts]

whos raf and how much roughly is it, and how can i contact him?

[Soppagas]

I used 4 90 degrees and 2 x 60 degree bends to do my piping . I used one of the elbows from the old intercooler though.

If you want photos give me a yell and i will send them through

[pinoi_boi_r33]
