Why the different sizes? or was it just stuff you pieced together. Like get a ebay set of piping. Really cheap just as good aluminum is aluminum. And weld as much of it as you can so you dont have to worry about couplings poping of and crap

Starting with 2" pipe is the same size as the turbo compressor outlet. It's then connected by a 2" x 3" hose adapter to match with the 3" intercooler core. After the intercooler is the same hose adapter to match the look in the front. I didn't want a 2" on one side and 3" on the other side. The hose adapter lenght is only 3". Then for a short runner of 2", it'll become a long runner of 3" straight to the TB. I'm running that way with no problem. I don't use many couplings. The pipes are smooth and mostly welded together and won't break. Unless the turbo compressor outlet is 3" and matches with the 3" intercooler, then some pipe adapters gotta be in the way.

2.5 pre IC is ideal, helps cut down a tiny bit on turbo lag, 3" to throttle body is ideal....once the air goes through the IC you want as much air as possible to go to your TB....i have 3" all the way, from turbo to tb....if i was you i would weld all your piping together as much as possible....
