Why in the hell is alpine selling steel intercooler pipe why aren't they making it from aluminum? All my intercooler pipes have always been from aluminum!
Steel is bad it holds to much heat from the turbo and the engine bay. I would ditch that crap and get some real pipes bent from alum!

An oily Rag is not a good idea.You dont want oil running through your motor.
What can i do??

You can ship it out to be ceramic coated, the ceramic coating shop will clean it for you prior to the coating.

I spoke with Gavin at Alpine and i explained the situation with him about the rust in the pipings.He said they acid wassh inside the pipe so that may be the cause for the rust.Also he is looking into making Stainless Steel piping and will get back to me about this.If it goes through he will ship it out to me
