I'm all sold out of the 2.5, but I will have lots more within the next week. I carry the 2.0, 2.25, and 2.5. I'm looking into the reducer couplers, but they are really expensive. Here's a good solution for that.

Say your turbo outlet is 2.0 and your charge piping will be 2.5. Go to pep boys in their "exhaust" section and they have metal reducer things that they use for exhaust diameter changes. Get the 2.0 to 2.5 one in this case. Use a 2.5 coupler on the charge piping side, and use a 2.0 coupler on the turbo side. This is definately alot cheaper than buying some of those reducer couplers that can sometimes run in the $20 something range.
Properly sized radiator hose (found at pep boys also) can also be cut up in place of the 2.0 coupler.
