Default What size intercooler tubing?

What size of pipe should I run from turbo to the intercooler? 3"?

I ask because my t76 turbo has a 2.5" outlet and the intercooler I'm going to use will be the 32x12x4 off ebay. Shooting for 650-700rwhp

I use 3" Stainless. Just buy a 2.5" to 3" silicone reducer and your all set.

If the IC has 3" inlet/outlet I agree with Josh. If it is 2.5" then I would go with 2.5" throughout the system, since your turbo outlet is that size.
