Pretty much any hardware store. From what I heard PVC breaks down at high temps, so wouldn't it be a bad choice with the hot compressed air of a turbo?

I had to use PVC piping while I was waiting for my HRC front mount. I made my fit a stage 1 with it. I use the rubber elbows supplied with the HRC kit to run off the trottle body and off the turbo outlet. I use galvinized steel off the rubber fitting from the turbo outlet because the PVC kept melting. BLAH...then I ran the steel into the PVC 90' elbow and straight from there to the elbow off the trottle body. for the BOV I drilled a hole in the 90' PVC elbow (3/4 and got a 1.5 inch 3/4 piece to fit inside the hole) i then used the PVC cement and glued all the pipes together and the 3/4 piece inside the hole. i attached the BOV and it worked perfectly.

I used piping from a junkyard which I stealthily obtained from several Audis, Volvos, and Saabs. Worx great cuz they're mandrel bent, but the piping pops off sometime. and I had to use some reducers in the system too but it worx pretty damn well. Looks hella ghetto though hehe :P
Yes I bought my cold air PVC extension at home depot back in teh good ol NA days. Actually it was ABS plastic.
Good place to get couplers especially silicone ones are the junkyard as well, they cost so much if you buy em new.
