Intercooler Piping

[dherron]

I just got a Evo 8 front mount and i am goin to do all the piping myself and i was wondering what size piping would be the best. Should i run 2inch to the dejon uicp or should i just go with all 2.5 inch. I plan on gettin a 50 trim or bigger after tax returns. Thanks for any and all help.

I run 2.5" piping from the turbo to the throttle body with my 50 trim and thats what I would recommend. I got all the u-bend piping from magnumforce.com for about $50 shipped. For the straight pipes I went to Autozone for like $3.

EDIT: I just saw you want to run an EVO VIII intercooler, what is the inlet size on that? If its less than 2.5" you might want to have 2.25" piping to the IC and 2.5" after, depending on the inlet size.
