need some advice on I/C piping size
ok, the motor(though not the car) is a 2004 SRT-4 engine with a 20g turbo, 38mm Tial wastegate, 3" exhaust, blah blah blah, anyway my power goal is 400WHP at maximum boost of 25psi(though in daily use it will be turned down to about 280 or so) anyway, I was just wondering what you people think my I/C piping size should be...I am thinking 2.5" myself...if I can get away with smaller though I would prefer to do so

2.5 is your best bet

i have 3" piping for the ones that connects to the tb and 2.5" going from turbo to i/c
you can see the larger 3" piping on left and smaller 2.5" piping on right. some people use different size piping for different parts of the piping setup. the 3" ones gets more air to the tb

If you go to big and dont have a big turbo flowing lots of air it will hurt response.

hmm, thanks for all your help guys....just to let you know, I forgot to mention, my TB is only 60mm, which is roughly 2.5"...I dont think in this case that 3" is going to help a whole lot until I get a bigger TB...I'll go 2.5 for now and upgrade later if need be
