I really don't have the time, desire, equipment, or garage to learn how to weld. Maybe when I'm in my 30's or something, but right now I've got too much other stuff going on and no room to build a garage (stupid neighbor won't sell me the empty lot next to me). > I want to try building a plastic intake manifold.

Especially if you don't have a good intercooler. People have melted PVC type intercooler plumbing before.
