what size piping?
 
The car is a 92 civic si hatch with a jdm b18c motor with an lsd tranny. Turbo is a garret 48/60 internal wastgate , greeddy inetrcooler with 2" end tank piping I am go to fabricate the ic piping myself. I was wondering what u guys thought for material (I have a mig welder) and also what size piping? The coonectors for the piping will be purchased from home depot what do u guys think?

I'm curious to know where to get piping from myself. I've read that you should use 2" from turbo to IC and 2.5" from IC to Throttle Body.
Anybody know where to get piping in the North Florida area?

Other way around , when its 2.5" from turbo then 2" into throttle body air is forced in
