Re:how to size up your pipe?charge that is
I just looked at the diameter of the hole coming out the compressor and just used piping of the same size up to the intercooler; it was something like 1.25" ID and the throttle response was amazing. After the intercooler it stepped up to 2.25". I've looked at some "pro japanese" turbo drift cars and they seem to follow this logic for good throttle response (small pre intercooler piping followed by large piping going into the t.b.); but what do they know?? :P
Going purely on theory (usu not the best way), you want the smallest pipes possible without causing enough restriction to cause a pressure drop from the turbo to the t.b. Turbo's flow a certain cfm (volume/time) so the turbo will pump a certain volume of air per unit time. If you have big *** bling bling pipes it'll obviously take more time to pressurize the volume of the pipes.
The best way to figure it out? Use different sizes and see which one works best.

2-2.5 inch charge pipes is what you want. Anything smaller is too small and anything larger is dumb unless your building a 700hp motor
