what size exhaust

[my95tsi]

Ok i have a 2g tsi and i was wondering what size exhaust to get. I'm planning on getting a 3inch cat back and i don't know what size downpipe. I'm plannig on keeping my t25 for as long as i can since i'm at school and short of cash but i will get bigger downpipe if i need to later. I heard that a 3 inch dp on a t25 with stress the turbo and eventually cause it to go out. I don't know if this is true but would i just be better off if i got a 2.5 since the 3 inch won't do too much with the t25?????

3"

i agree with jdmawd that a 3" dp is what you will want.

It depend's on your BHP goal's. A 3" system will be ideal if you plan on upgrading to a bigger turbo setup in the future.

well like i said i'll get a new dp in the future if i need to... 3 inch just seems so much for that little turbo

Why spend double the money? If you plan on upgrading your turbo in the future buy a 3" DP.
