2.build it out of 2 inch copper the advantages are soldering lays flat on both sides and its more resistant to corrosion. Not sure on negatives
3. Build it out of ally sleeved with silicone obviously the easiest but not sure on how good a final product it'd be considering fuel ect be sucked through at pressure.
Anyone with any knowledge on this could give me a steer would be much appreciated
Cheers

Personally i'd not over think the material of the inlet. Your issue is going to be it freezing due to the carb placement.

Point 3, “ sucked through at pressure” does not make sense. If it is sucked it is tending to vacuum before charger, Pressure implied after the charger.
re the inside. Use length that allow you to grind out the inside if it is really bad.
or just buy some bends and join it with silicon pipe. But it all kinda depends on your actual lay out.

OK mate, I've had carb freeze on a race kart but as soon as you get up to temp it sorts its self. What's the issues caused on a classic mini had how'd you go about tackling then to improve the issue?Personally i'd not over think the material of the inlet. Your issue is going to be it freezing due to the carb placement.

It won't sort itself on a mini. The best solution has been to wrap copper tube round it and feed it from the tap on the cylinder head.

Ahh so you've plumbed it in to the cooling system basically. While I've got your knowledge on hand Steve the other issue I wanted to give so thought to is intake temps which apparently saw on on a super charger. I've heat wrapped the exhaust to reduce cross over is there any other tips and tricks I could/should be trying? Cheers

Wrapping manifolds on the Mini is not good. It pulls the carbon to the surface and embrittles the steel causing it to fail.

As Nick has said, don't bother with the exhaust manifold. Personally, i'd get the inlet manifold ceramic coated inside and out.
