matters wot power you want.

i run 2" all thro on my xr2tt, and seen a pulser get 370 bhp on 2" pace boost pipe and inter set up.

on my cossie i run 2.5" boost pipe thro out, and is fine for over 550+ bhp.

the bigger the boost pipe, slightly more lag, if to big can help turbo run out of puff, and the more space is needed to fit it in.
