Default Mandrel bent tubing...where are you getting it??

Looking for some 14 gauge mandrel bent tubing. So far I'm only finding places that carry 16 gauge, but I'm wanting something a little thicker. Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Austin

Curious, why 14 and not the typical 16?

This is for the turbo kit itself, not the exhaust. That's a hell of a deal though from edelbrock!!

I would just feel a little safer using 14 gauge to "help" hold up this 40+lbs turbo than 16 gauge.

Thanks. I've been looking for that site for about 3 weeks now! I found it about 4 or 5 months ago but couldn't remember the name.

I have bought bends from http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c...let/StoreFront but after a quick browse theirs are listed as 16ga as well. I picked up a few catalogs from benders at PRI that I can look thru to see if any of them offer 14ga.
