2.75" is overkill IMO. 2.5" is easiest for our cars, they throttle body is 2.5 OD and most likely your intercooler is also. That kit doesn't look like it comes with 3 reducers, which cost like $25 a piece on atpturbo.com. I'd say order through JcWhitney.com and make your own or buy from --------------------------- and do some minor cutting and save some money.

BTW, I'm installing my turbo this week so if you want the oil pan you're gonna have to come get it.

you're better off just buying some aluminized steel mandrel bends. that kit isn't custome made and will require some cutting and welding.
