Default do i need bigger intercooler 3dr cosworth

i got my 3dr a few weeks ago and i split the boost hose between the turbo and intercooler so i ordered one for my cosworth thinking it had 70mm pipes but now relised that the hose is too big on the intercooler end ...

my intercooler is about 62mm pipes

the car is 500+bhp running
autronic sm4 mapped for 2.2bar
gt35 roller bearing with external wastegate and screamer anti surge ect ....
1000cc injectors
fully ported head with custom cams and pullys ect
fully lightened and balanced bottom end
pocketed pistons with standard compression
and loads more

its still running a modded 2wd inlet and throttle bodie and has seen 525bhp when first built @2.2bar but i had it rolling roaded with the split boost pipe and only managed 1.5bar and 414bhp/416lbs

what im thinking is i might want a 70mm intercooler but will i need a bigger inlet plenum and throttle bodie to make the most of it...

ive got a price for a hart inlet but can you run a 70mm throttle bodie with it.


and the main question how much difference with a hart inlet/70mm i/c and bigger throttle bodie make if the car made 525bhp on the spec it has
