Others have clarified the flow characteristics, as for making the fittings there are really three routes you can follow:
1. Use hard wall tubing such as metal pipe with flexible rubber connectors, those blue hose connectors used on many turbo cars.
2. Use soft wall tubes, you can buy the expensive turbo pressure hose and do the whole thing or you can use radiator hose based on your needs. Rad hose will work well up to a certain pressure limit but for 14-16psi on your MB, the rad hose should work really well, plus it's cheap and easy to replace
3 Finally a combo of both hard and soft materials. I use mainly hard materials in mine but there are a few hose pieces. My set-up was done with all off the shelf parts and cost less than $75 for the plumbing.
Hope that helps,
