Is SC intake pipe steel or aluminum?

Is SC intake pipe steel or aluminum?
I'm getting a flange welded to the pipe for a BOV and I need to find out if the pipe is steel or aluminum (so I know whether to get a steel or aluminum flange).
Also, anyone know where to get a flange that works with the Blitz Supersound BOV? It has a 2-inch diameter. The local tuner shop will look for one for me, but in case they want to charge a lot for it, I'd like to know where I can get one that's inexpensive.
Thanks,

Btw I've got the latest Blitz BOV on mine.

I know that there is extra piping on the 5th gen SC, but anyways, here's a shot of my 4th gen engine:

Well, you mount it where the Bosch recirculation valve is mounted, but I don't think the mounting area will accept a BOV. I haven't removed the recirc valve to see what the mount looks like. Anyone have pictures?

Cool, I'm going to try the magnet test and make sure.
I bought the BOV 6 months ago but haven't had the time to get it installed. I kept reading the horror stories about how the car wouldn't run when the BOV was installed. Finally going to get it installed, just need the flange and $75 install cost.
I'm going to start saving for the tranny swap. I'm guessing I'll save enough within 1.5 years to afford it ($250\month for 18 months=$4500).

ah ha....some adam (my 4DSC) did it for him already....
are u reading IanW's story about BOV leak? where he gets inconsistent pressure through-out each gear? I wonder if he got it resolved.
want me to install it? I can zip-tie it for ya! j/k
about saving money....I will "try" to save 150 - 200 a month and pray to god everyday that my auto tranny will live for 5 years....then I will have my tranny swap fund ready by then. I grandma shift 1-2 and 2-3 these couple days....the tranny fluid is a bit cooler....and I'm only allowed to boost 2 times a day...wish me luck.

5 years? That's a long time to keep your car, eh. Especially a boosted\modified car. I'll be happy to have my car running for a total of 5 years. In 5 years, my Maxima will be 7.5 years old, hopefully I'll be making big money by then and I'll be driving something like a GT-R .
2 boosts a day limit?? Not a bad idea, just impossible to live up to.

I've tried 4 different gauges, thay all do it, from several different locations, including right off the manifold. It wasn't my gauge or vacuum line.
However, I spent today on the Dyno, and realized my BOV leaks boost at high RPMs. (5000+). Trying to find out if this is normal.
If figure, if that is the problem, the reason that my boost dropped more and more (8PSI 1st to 2nd, 6PSi 2nd to 3rd, 4PSI 3rd to 4th) is because I sit in the leak area longer (spend more time in high RPM's) and more leaks out.
Although I did a run today without the BOV being activated, and I got worse numbers, so who the hell knows?

so, before I boost...I think about those trannies first.

so when u have the BOV off....do u see better pressure in all gears?
thx

the stock piping is steel.
if you have a greddy bov, you can bolt that right onto the stock piping. its the same size at the BOSCH blow off.
only if you want to attach say an HKS or Greddy bov do you need to reweld it.

So you do you have to weld the greddy or not? Above, you said you don't have to, then that you do.

Ok, so you have to weld a flange if you use an HKS or Blitz BOV.

ic...so the rusty speckles help my engine combust better. I am thinking about a more efficient method by mixing some of those titanium stuff (like 1 lb or so) with my engine oil along with some coolant (about 1.5 Liters) as a chemical oil cooler. To allow faster flow, I decided to remove my oil filter as well.....

u know.....if the uranium flange goes kaboom....we live pretty close.....probably LA people will see the mushroom cloud on TV.

You might not have to weld a flange for the 4th gen piping for a Blitz BOV, but you definitely need to weld one for the 5th gen piping.
The inlet is about 1 inch in diameter, the BOV requires a 2-inch flange.
