the blow hole on my T3 is only approx. 1_3/8". When fabbing my charge pipes, do I want to immediately up the ID of the pipe out of the turbo or run narrow pipe to the IC and then 2.5" to the TB (D16Y7)?

I was wondering the same but I think it would be better the open it up to 2.5 in right away better flow id think

 

mine is about 1.75" so im wrapping it with heat wrap to give it the extra .25" then buying a 2->2.5" metal reducer from pepboys. then im going to buy 1 silicone coupler 2". then use nitrile hose for the rest. im doing the same thing for the throttle body except im going to use a ghetto home depot coupler

not quite sure what you meant there, nig.
I was drunk when I originally posted the Q so it might not make a lot of sense either.
Is it best to just up the ID of the pipe right at the turbo and run 2.5" charge pipe for the whole system? Or is there some combination that is better, like Turbo->1.5" charge pipe->IC->2.5" charge pipe->TB ?
Anyways,

my turbo has a 2 inch outlet and my TB is 2.5. i went 2 inch from turbo into the cooler, then 2.5 out the cooler to the TB.
