2.25-2.5 inch hot side piping could support maybe close to 2k hp. 2.5 cold could support close to 1500 depending on other variables but it is compressed air so it should work for most goals

Twin 2.5" pipes hot and cold(assuming its a twin turbo) will support more than your going to make.

Approximatly one metric $hit ton....

C'mon man you need to give some details! No one can help you with that tiny bit of information. Give us your engine run down, hp/ET goal, turbo to be used, IC brand inlet/outlet sizes etc...
