High-temp rubber vs. silicone for IC piping.
What's the deal with the high-temp rubber ATP sells? It's half the price of the silicone stuff. Anyone tried the stuff? I was considering using it on the coldside and mabye on the hotside on everything except the turbo coupling itself. I didn't see any threads on it here so I thought I'd ask.

that rubber is probably the nitrile rubber used by most OEs. I'm using two 90s - one on my "turbo inlet" and the other on the cold side pipe off the IC. I have no complaints - and it's not some funky color like a lot of the silicone. The only real disadvantage is that it's thicker - takes up more space around the pipe than the silicone.
