    Custoom intercooler / Boost Pipe Sizing

    This is a quick survey for those that have custom Intercoolers / Reversed manifold installations.

    What size piping has been used on the boost tract?

    The stock is 60 mm I believe

    Next we have a choice of 64mm ( 2.5 inch ) and 76mm ( 3 inch )

    I'm leaning to buying the 64mm piping but I am curious to know what the likes of Mark Halligan / Aronmatic etc have installed on their cars

    Most over this way have tried getting the intercoolers with the 64mm sizes for the inlet outlet but the guy on ebay who sells them only does the 76mm one's now as I was looking at them a while back and iirc newsh has that size on his and uses reducers to drop the size down slightly.

    I'm not sure if there are any other people on the bay who sell the intercoolers with the smaller outlets.

          Have smooth growing (by samco elbows) from turbo to IC, from IC to throttle body - 76mm. Little laggy design must admit (more air in the hoses?), but in overall - car pulls harder for some reason I don't know .
