Buly,
Apart from the warning noted, that sceet stuff will not provide very good airflow. I also had trouble with the coil of wire coming out at the ends. I dumped it in the end and used one of those long 3 inch foam swimming pool things, bent it to shape gradually and using duct tape to hold the shape in place, then layed up a fiberglass intake tube. Getting the foam out after cure wasn't easy, but the intake tube is strong, a perfect fit and nice & smooth on the inside.

Hi Steve,
My stock turbo is OK and resting under the bench. I used an old hot
section casting and made a 3/16" block-off plate for the back where
the compressor was. This will be my muffler/exhaust system. Used the
same pipe with the O2 sensor.
Now I'm trying to find some kind of a fresh air duct/hose for the
intake. Scat tubing comes to mind, but I know it is prone to inner
wall collapse. Any suggestions?

Buly,
I'm using the silicone version of SCAT tubing, which is called SCEET tubing
At any rate, It seems to be pretty rigid, and holds its shape well on bends.
I'm using it to supply fresh air to the turbo, and haven't had any issues
with it. It is not real cheap, but take a look at this link for ACS.
