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

I'm running a turbo with the same A/R on a D16Z6 and I have 2" from turbo to intercooler and 2.5" from intercooler to turbo.
