Default Looking for a 60mm to 63mm (2.5") expander section

My new turbo came and it's got a 60mm inlet flange. Problem is nothing else is really available in 60mm (filters, etc...) So I've been looking for an adapter section that I can use to just bump it up to 2.5 (I'll run a few inches of 60mm pipe, expand it to 2.5, then continue on to the filter), but I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm guessing due to it being such a small diameter bump. Anyone know where I can find one? It would be greatly appreciated.

If you are worried, a thin bead of silicone around the outside of the coupler will ensure a seal.

Holy old thread....Problem long since solved. I had someone weld a 2.5" pipe over the 2 3/8" turbo flange, then blended the 2 together so inside its a reducer.

60 to 63mm expander? Why dont you just use a 2.5" tube with a 2.5" siliccone respectively. Does a 3mm reducer even exist?!
