Yeah don't use that stuff . You should be able to get a few bends and weld a pipe together in there. I've worked in tighter places building a kit for a c5 corvette. Or reduce down to a little smaller pipe using a coupler.

Thats a serious peace of hardware for charge piping! Whats that thing weigh?... 40lbs?
Depends on several different variables there is no black and white answer. Would probably be fine on a mild lowish boost setup. The turbo will just have to work harder to push the charge through smaller pipe.

Lol. Actually I meant just in general. 2" Charge Pipe or 3". Which is better? Does it matter that much?

Not cheap, but it's rated for the heat and pressure.
. The 2.5 inch ID tubing that I used was temp. rated at -80-520*f. And has a max working pressure of 40psig. and a burst press of 140psi. Inside the 2 walls of tubing there is a spiral round steel wire so the tubing keeps it's shape.
