Default what size intercooling piping to go w/?

I'm putting a t25 on my d16 and planning on running 8psi w/ a FMIC, what size piping should I go with, 2.25 or 2.5?

if your turbos 2, nothing bigger will make ---- all diff except a pressure drop

go with the size of your IC outlet/inlets.

I'd go 2" from the compressor to the IC and 2.5" to the TB. Or just split it down the middle and go 2.25" all the way.
