Should I change my IC piping?
I have 2" from the turbo to the IC, and 2.5" from the IC to the TB. Should I swap out the first piece of 2.5" from the IC (it connects to a 90 degree elbow and turns up into the engine bay) with 2" piping?
I've seen some of you post that the piping should be the same size on both sides of the IC...is it worth the extra cost of changing it out??

Dude, you gotta change the layout of your website--makes it almost impossible to look at.
And for your answer.
From what I understood, the DRAG kits and whatnot use smaller IC piping from the IC to the TB, someone correct me if im wrong. This is because the air is cooler therefore condensed/compressed. Also should have something to do with velocity.
I think I read this on this board before. Forgive me if I am wrong.

as far as piping size, that is more than big enough... unless of course you're pushing like 500hp... now if the piping is steel or something other than PVC then you are fine.

Yeah, I know it's big enough, I'm asking if I should replace some of the 2.5 with 2 inch piping. I really don't know if there will be any difference but I read that the pipes on both sides of the IC should be the same and then step up to larger before the TB.
