Default Need help with chrage pipes

I'm trying to figure out what size of charge pipes I should go with. My set up is a fully built D16Y8 with a drag manifold and T3/T04E Garrett turbo. I'll be running about 14-16 psi of boost. I'm trying to figure out what size of charge pipes I should go with. I had the Greddy turbo kit before this and the upper charge pipe was 2.25". Should I increase the charge pipe size to 2.5" or keep it the same. Also, if I do increase the upper charge pipe size, should I also increase the lower chrage pipe leading to the intercooler since it is only 2". Need help, building chrage pipes this weekend.

I'd trust the opinion of anyone with a signature that big.
