Default What is a good size for turbo piping?

My kit came with 2 1/4 inch piping universal U bends.

I was wondering if I should look into upgrading that to someting like 2 1/2 ?

Is it okay to mix piping sizes? I was going to keep my AEM Cold air intake which is 2 1/2.. I think. So is it okay for the piping to come out of the intercooler that would be 2 1/4 to then be connected to my cold air piping which is 2 1/2??

I have T3/T4 Garret, plan on running about 7 psi, tuned with Hondata.

Stick with 2-2.25 inch for what you have.

How about mixing piping sizes with a rubber connector, any probs with air flow with that?
