As long as the welds are good and it fits well, aluminum should be fine... these engines don't produce enough boost to be a problem.

My truck had aluminum piping and silicone boots and it made 65-70psi of boost.

I'm not full of **** if that's what you're insinuating.

Diesel make a lot more boost by design. Do some research and you'll know. A stock diesel makes anywhere from 28-35psi.

Aluminum has good heat conductivity as well... besides being light and easy to work with.

Easy to work with as long as you don't have to weld it!

But I do love tig welding.
