How big is the outlet on the turbo? Have you picked an intercooler out yet? If so, what are the inlet/outlet on that?

Troy just buy that kit I did, all 3inch, intercooler and piping. You wont buy it and wish you didnt....

If you buy the universal 3in kit, you will have cool leftover 3in pieces to make civic cold air intakes with!!!!!!

but really, the 3in leaves room to grow when you want to upgrade to a larger turbo. Its not gona hurt to go 3in over 2.5
