based on your thinking, it would make more sense to have smaller piping, more pressure= less lag. i wouldn't run less than 2" for sure either way though.

i'm not 100% postive that this is true, however, i've read it numerous times, and it just kinda seems to make more sense in my head.

Thanks, it's on glow or whatever so that's the fuzzy you see kind of like lights at night or something. It's not unrealy fat fuzzy or anything.

ive used both small and 2.5", my last setup i had 2.5" charge pipes, my current setup i have hose with about 1.75 ID, i have to say the lag is close to the same, if not a little less with the small pipe, and i made more whp with the same turbo using stock eclipse charge hose and some radiotor hose, and then the stock civic intake arm cut about 2" shorter which has probly a little over 2" id, my un-educated concusion is ---- it use whatever. unless maybe your flowing alot of air making alot of hp i wouldnt recomend small stuff

wow, been 8 years.....
but a Callaway VW kit from a Wabbit on Shitrocco using 2" OD pipes, using windshield washer fluid (high alky content) to cool the charge and help with detonation.......he then moved onto Ruf's until a dumb bitch in Miami and him on a 750cc scooter.....
Jeff was ahead of the times.....HMT 5-6 years before it ever happened
