what temperature is the cold side of my turbo where the pipe from the airbox goes on lightly to be?
im just wondering what material i could use to make some pipe work up so i can run my airfilter to down near the bumper for better airflow.....

Not a good idea to put the air filter any lower, best to put it in behind the headlight, it will suckup water and the slightest look at a puddle. iv destroyed one engine, strange it dident snap the rod, only put the crank in two bits

Hang on, are you putting it so it goes directly into the turbo?
You would want it to have a gap, then filter.

That would work fine Joe, but it would work better if it had a good supply of cold air, maybe from behind the headlight as dec suggests. Plastic tubing probably wouldn't be suitable as the turbo is tucked down the back of the engine in an area being pumped with heat from the engine block and exhaust manifold. Silicone doesn't cost that much these days tbf.
