i'm heading up to the shop tomorrow and was wondering what size pipes i should go with for the intercooler and exhaust. should 2" be sufficient for both applications?

2.5" downpipe would be good.<BR>2" IC piping would be what I'd use.<BR>Are you making a turbo manifold also?

i'm not sure yet... does the B6T manifold fit on the SOHC head?... if not i think i'll have to go custom

anything past the turbo should be as big as you can make it. You dont want ANY restriction. All backpressure/exhaust gas velocity arguements are null and void within the realm of turbos.
