You should be able to make 90% of the potential power on your current 2.5" system, the downpipe on those is a piece of cake to make so it's not like it'll waste a load of time/resources making it work in the short term, if that helps at all. I guess you've probably looked at Jonny's thread, but he's documented the adjustments you'll need to make to the gear selector too. I notice you mentioned the bottom pipe in another thread (or possibly this one, i find it hard to keep track), you will probably find it's easier/cheaper to find different routing, plus that tiny pipe mouth will be a serious restriction on your inlet flow. Be a shame to strangle that strapping great turbo.
i cant remember whos thread i was looking at but the adapter they made for the turbo was huge. Know someone whos already built the setup im aiming for and the gear link only requires a 5mm trim with this adapter 
Is it not worth jumping the exhaust straight up to 3" then?
As for the bittom pipe i know the c5 will restrict it as its gotta be reduced to fit. There will be a new bottom pipe being constructed for that later but atm theres lots on my list for this setup :/ its not like a stage 2 where you can do abit here and there. Didnt realise how full on this was going to be
