hotter air is less dense, you may want to consider runnin the 2 1/4 inch as the intercooler inlet and the 2 inch as the outlet. that way you cool more air.

the air coming out of the turbo is more hot and condense, once it goes through the intercooler its going to expand be more densful hence running the bigger pipe. The air's cooler now and not compressed. Hope I said it right im very tired right now. -Nick
