You can get them from www.mcmaster.com. There is realy no set brand.
What your looking for is High temp, abrasive resistant, an inner diameter that will match your ducting, smooth on the inside, and sturdy. You want to try and make them equal length to keep the efficiency the same for both turbos. But in my opinion at their flow rates a foot diffrence wont real make But in my opinion at their flow rates ta foot wont real make too much of a diffrence in efficiency.
Idealy you want the temp range on Pos end to be above 275F, Verry good Abrassive Resistance, and Flexable. Look at pages 180-193 on their online catalog.
Hope this helps. McMasterCarr is the shiznit for odd parts and peices for any project.

Can't believe I never commented to this thread. Very awesome setup.
PE is essentially a tuner kit for the price of a complete kit (kind of). But, it has awesome potential IMO. can't wait to see some aweseom numbers. Mine will be ready in two weeks or so, to go together with my fresh 6MT conversion. I am finally done with 5AT! Can't wait. Contrary to pupolar belief, our turbos are about the same as the APS ones wrt flow. The APS ones can flow a max of 35lbs, while our turbos take a very small penalty for being SO much more responsive then APS, and flow 34.4 lbs (essentially identical). Again, can't wait to see some numbers.

what happened with the group buy on it?

I am getting a Greddy kit next week and will need to look into having one of these made if we can't find out on the GB.
