Default Charge pipe Steel or Slicone

I would like a new charge pipe. Mine is fine... But with all the W/M mods... I'd like to have a spare.
I've looked around... and yet I still can never be sure if its a charge pipe Im looking at.

Heres a link to what I think is a charge pipe. Can someone confirm or deny whether it is? It looks much different when it isnt installed.

Also... can someone please link a stainless steel chargepipe if they happen to know of one?

Those are not the charge pipe. Those are the hoses that go from the chrage pipe to the first intercooler and then from the second intercooler to the TB. The charge pipe on the 225 is the long metal tube on the top to left side of the engine that has the do not touch sign on it. It's bend at a 90 degree angle and travels directly next to the coolant reservoir and down into the first boost tube (one of the ones you see that in link).

Think one is for the upper charge pipe to the passenger smic and the other is from the drivers smic to the tb. But if you have the tCarbon fmic, will they even still work?

Those are not the charge pipe.
Technically any pipe/hose that connects the turbo to the TB is a charge pipe/hose.

Im looking for the pipe that goes into the throttle body. the one I have installed is still the stock Black one. I do have the tCarbon FMIC and the hose to the throttle body/intake manifold didnt change. So one of the pipes pictured above IS that pipe?

Ok ok, if you want to get that technical about it. I'm just referring to what is commonly known as the charge pipe. The pipe you speak of neurotic is one of the ones that you have in that link. I don't think they have a name other than boost hose.

word.
Basically... Im just talking about whatever pipe it is that I drilled a hole in for the w/m kit. It feeds directly into the throttle body so if thats it... then cool. I need a stainless steel one. lol

those are the upper intercooler hoses made by forge, the tcarbon kit includes the lower intercooler hoses
