What size pipe have you gone for, a smaller 2" before the intercooler and then 2.5" after or just the same what are peoples opinions on the pipes? Also what is the size of the standard intercooler pipe work from turbo n manifold etc... anyone have any ideas?

:yes: FMIC from a old sponsor - no secrets

piping is 2.5" madrel bent aluminium with snot welds removed internally all round
Core is very similar to ibi's except mine looks slighty larger from the front (wider)

very easy to replicate as ibi has shown (even though he didnt mean to, lol)

good effort :clap:
