Just pondering induction pipes (on the boost side) pros and cons. I believe the standard 20VT turbo compressor exit is 2.5”. The way my FMIC is setup, it then goes straight up to a 3” converter, and then to another pipe and onto the intercooler.
Is there any advantage to this, or is it best to have induction piping that is the same bore all the way through? thanks
I would say it is probably best to have the same all the way through, as the air still has to be forced through the throttle body which has a smaller diameter than the intercooler pipe work
