Default Turbo Hotside and coldside piping diamerter

I bought an On3 76mm .96AR turbo tonight!!! I guess i'm committed.

What diameter piping should I have for the crossover pipe? I was planning on matching the diameter of the exhaust manifolds to the merge, then at that point matching the diameter of the turbo.

Same question from turbo to innercooler? 3" ok? 2.5? and inner cooler to TB? same size as turbo to innercooler?

Should I run 3" or 4" for the downpipe?

Basically, what my question is, should i just match all the sizes of all the different pieces i already have, manifolds, innercooler, turbo housing, ect?

Thanks for your input.
