charge pipe to big?
 

my brother told me to run the same size pipe as the turbo outlet to the intercooler then go bigger on the outlet side..well i didnt listen to him of course but now im thinking hes right? i used 2.5 mandrel piping to do my charge lines and it seems to be a bit to big..i used to run a saab turbo with 2.0" lines now i stepped up to a turbonetics t3 super sixty and went with 2.5 all the way..it doesnt boost nearly as fast but comes on hard around 4,4500..used to come on around 3,5 should i change my charge line from the turbo to the intercooler to 2.0" therefore it will pressurize faster and spool quicker? i also managed to sqeeze a full mandrel 3" downpipe to a 3" cat and exhaust..with A/C im thinking the charge pipe size is where i went wrong?

i woudlnt worry about it, ---- we used 2.5 charge pipes on small ass T25's and RHb5's no problems... THe super60 is a rather large T3, that is why its taking longer to spool.

i dont see the sense in running bigger pipe then your TB size. i mean if you go 3" all the wat from fmic to TB. it still has to slow down and get through the 2" TB..
