So far thats the best deal i know of, since you have a welder your all set. As far a couplers, i would just go to napa and get a 2.5" straight radiator hose, use your chop saw to cut out couplers ;D

just make sure the size he advertises is just that.

I got the 2" kit from that guy, but the piping was not 2"...its more like 1 and 7/8 :(

I dont know if i wanna use it. I tried sending an email to see if i can get the next biggest size, but he hasnt answered yet. I'll try to send him another one.

anything from like 2.25-2.5 should be fine...if the turbo outlet is small then just step it up. meineke dumpsters own you

go at least 2.5 in. All that talk about big charge piping making you laggy is pretty much bullshit

Not saying you're wrong because I haven't researched this topic. But if it takes more air to fill the charge piping (which would be the case with wider pipes), wouldn't it take longer to get to any given boost level? Just like anything, takes less time to fill a smaller volume.
