THe bigger you go the more heat you'll get rid of. But from what i researched I would go 3".
I have a 2 1/2" on right now N/A...some ppl said it would slow me down n/a but i've actually got bether times at the track because it gave me more on the top end and lost some on the bottom end but with a turbo i think when ever i'll get there i'll want to up grade to 3" to be able to keep things cooler and spool up the turbo a nit faster too.

Oil leakies :(

Also had to buy a new radiator because my stocker 15 year old one was making
pretty steam shows and horrid smells.

Yep, its all apart and im putting a new radiator in while I am at it.

In addition, one of the front frostplugs weeps so its getting replaced.

While the oil is out, im putting an electric oil pressure gauge in there
that I will include wiring for and fixing the dayum leakies.

Heard autometer is a good brand, hence I shall buy one.

Wow been awhile since an update. Thw new HLA's eliminated the ticking but I had to
re time the belt. Dont try to keep the cam gears in time while swapping these out, just
take them off and re time the car.

Turbo and manifold have arrived, ETD BP manifold and a Garrett T3 Super 60:

Organized the haltech harness and labelled all the wires so installation *should*
be fairly painless.

Should go in before the end of the month.

Made a new injector harness too:
