Default what turbo intercooler piping sizes?? 2,2.25,2.5,3"????

i'm in the process of getting some intercooler piping. well first my setup is built lsvtec, gt30r, throttle body is 68mm, neukin equal lenght manifold, and hp goals are 350-400 street. i just want something that will make spoolup really quick and wont harm me on hp levels. i have found and was plan on getting 2" piping from turbo to intercooler(hotside) and 2.25 from intercooler to t/b(cold side). will this be a ok setup?? intercooler size will be 30x6.5x3.5 (2.5inlet). i know that bigger is not always better, help me out

for throttle body to intercooler just go 2.5(unless u already have 2.25) and turbo to intercooler 2 is fine for faster spool.

I'm running 2.5" all the way around with a TD04 14G. I actually want to step down to 2" all the way around. It's just hard finding all the 90s I need around here.
