Reducing your intake Hard piping size?
Wondering if this will effect me negatively in anyway. Here's what I want to do. The intake output on my turbo only has a 2" radius and my hard piping is 2.5 inch crush bent. I want to custom make my own 2" mandrel bent intake from the turbo, to the intercooler, to the throttle body. I'm wondering if this will effect my horsepower/torque negatively, I'd like to reduce it to 2" because I don't see a standout point to have 2.5", plus with 2 inch piping, my boost threshold would decrease as well as boost lag, correct?
Just wondering what you guys think about this.
Thanks!

Don't want to go over 350-400whp. Probibly wont upgrade the turbo any further, currently running a Big 16G on a 4g63 (6 Bolt turbo eclipse engine)

I need to replace the piping because its crush bent anyway (the current piping is 2.5 inch), not arguing but wondering how the car would benifit from 2.5" piping if the output on the turbo is only 2"
