Default difference in turbo size
How much larger is a 72mm opposed to a 67mm as far as exterior dimensions go?

All depends on the chassis. They can be made where they are the same externally.

So if I wanted to swap 67's for some 72's I wouldn't need to redo any piping? Just worry about the tuning and fuel supply?

All depends on the comp cover of your 67mm. Is it a 3" inlet or 4" inlet?

With a 3", 67mm is about as much as you can get into that cover.
