alright, what size IC piping would be best for the hot side? the cold side is 3" and i will have to get custom piping because of a new turbo, should i get 3" as well? i know this may seem obvious, but i didn't know if you wanted some pressure on the hotside or not...
if it matters it will be a gt2871r .86 ar

2.5 on both sides.

TheSparo · 06-05-2005, 07:08 PM

any reason why?

Im no genious but i hear that if its too large it can create lag. That turbo will max out around 400 and i hear that 2.5 is good enough.
