Intercooler question

Post by racyneon » Wed Aug 22, 2007 8:31 pm

Does anyone know any good links for intercooler piping sizes? Im trying to figure out what size I should use when I get my srt turbo on the car. At first I was thinking 2.5 inch for both hot side and cold side but I remember reading something about using smaller pipeing on the cold side helps. So now Im thinking 2 inch hotside and 2.5-3 inch coldside. I will probably be running the turbo from 4-8psi on a stock 2.0L block.

Smaller on cold side because as the hot air cools, it becomes more dense and less volume, smaller piping keeps pressure up.
