Intercooler pipe diameters
Intercooler pipe diameters Open to all:
Getting closer to install so finally took a closer look at my plumbing. My pipes from the turbo to the intercooler are only 2" inside diameter, and 3" from intercooler to TB. Short of doing some math over the next day (which i will do anyway), what art thy first thoughts for my 409 with Hybrid 56 trim comp /76 trim turbine twins. Seems a bit small now that i look at it. What happens when the plumbing is undersized....higher charged air temps? Too much pressure? ...crap, off to the books again.

Thats what i was thinking...the IC iput is 2.5, the turbo is 2.75"
Anyone else?
Also, since I have the layout already, what are some good places to find hoses/piping for this?

Turbonetics has a pretty good selection of piping and hoses.
