Just after a little bit of help here. Piping up my charger. Ive got 2" outlets on my intercooler and the easiest way for me to pipe it would be 2" from the charger to the IC then 2.25 out of the IC and onto the throttle body. Would this be ok or should i get two 2" to 2.25" reducers and run all the pipes in 2.25" except for where it enters and leaves the IC?
Cheers

Can you not leave all of it 2" then get a reducer on the 2" pipe upto whatever the throttle body is?

But a 2.25 to 2 IS a reducer and is the exact same pipe

Well I've got 2" coming from the charger outlet so thats why i thought it would be easiest to go 2" to the IC outlet then 2.25 to the TB. Would 2" be fine considering ill be running about 5-7psi?

I dont see the point upping the size from the intercooler to the TB, personally.
