Actually aluminum transfers more heat from the engine bay into the charge-air system. Get the pipes ceramic coated to reduce this issue.

There is a machine that easily presses a bead into steel pipe. Many of the shops that have mandrel bending equipment also have the bead making machine.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
