I don't think that's overkill, you could go with bigger exhaust though. what's the size order of these turbos: 14b, rhb5, t25. I'm just wondering, I think the t25 is biggest and the 14b is in the middle, but I want to know for sure.

that setup is far from overkill. looks like a nice little street tiddler setup ihi doesnt offer much..

Up to 250hp 2.25" is sufficient. I know a lot of people who would spend 2x as much and go for a 3" to gain 5 hp.

thats a sluggish post

3" exhaust will make the turbo spool MUCH faster do the the car breathing that much better, you will gain much more than 5hp
