The way i did it was i figured what would be most cost effective. My intercooler came w/ 2.5" In/outlets and my TB is 2.5" so basically the best way for me to do it was 2.5" pipes. My turbo's outlet is only 1.75" or so so what i did was i went to an auto parts shop and bought one of those lil reducers 2.5->2.0" and im going to jb weld that on my charge pipe. then get a 2" coupler and connect the turbo to the charge pipe. this way i didnt have to buy a bunch of reducers which are quite spendy.

I hope this helped you.

yah see I want 2 1/4 but I dont think custom coach makes that size. Just 2 and 2 1/2 inch. I think 2 will be to small and 2 1/5 might be a little over kill. I guess im going to just check out jc whitney.
