I would reccomend using 3 inch mandrel piping if you can fit it. If not then go with 2.5 inch mandrel. The larger diameter allows the exhaust to flow out of the turbo easirer with less back pressure, which promotes faster spool up.

EDIT: You should be able to get the mandrel U-bends form summit or jegs for pretty cheap.
