Wasnt that to stop turbo surge or something along those lines. I remeber reading somewhere that the rs500 had something to restrict it to combat surge. Either in the exhaust or as you mention here by going down to 63mm. Then again i could be totally wrong lol

He said 76mm but did not give a real answer, just bigger is better.
I can't understand why bigger is better if the hose size goes back down to 63mm

I am, i just don't know if i should order one with 63mm ends or 76mm ends lol
Also if i get the 63mm one i don't have to get new boost hoses

They really are a work of art m8, but Steve is jumping the gun without measuring his temps first i think.
