Hey guys, I've searched and I can't find the thread where you guys were talking about numbers with a SP61 turbo or boss turbo.

I'm doing 2.5" lowers, from the turbo to the IC and was thinking about doing the uppers in 3", however it is a pain in the ass trying to route that stuff. I think that I could make it work, just harder to do so. The 2.5" will have no problem.

On 17lbs I'm making 407 rwhp and 408rwtq with a 60-1 boss. The most I want to boost is 25 psi with race gas which will put me in the upper 400's maybe low 500's. I'm doing this today. So Please help a supra guy out.

Thanks

Oh yeah, I don't have a FFIM yet so it is going the stock route, unless 3" then will have to go through the intake port

Thanks Bryan, I'm going to stick with those because routing that 3" pipe is just going to plain suck! Now once I have a FFIM I'll go bigger.

somebody made a post with IC piping size calculations...hopefully somebody has it bookmarked and can post it here.

From your setup, it sounds like 2.5 would be about right. On a similar setup, I'm going with 2.75"

The IC needs to have the same size inlet/outlet as the piping or it will not make a lot of difference in flow.
