Upgrading from 2in pipe to 2-1\/2in pipe.<\/h3><\/div>

Lets start from the beginning. I chose 2in inter-cooler piping for easy routing, cost and I was told it could reduce turbo lag time.   When I initially started building my turbo setup in 2007, I was not able to bring my mx6 into our main shop due to it being to busy and the current management.  Instead I had to do mock up in my garage with a 110v welder with flux core wire, a grinder and cut off disc and limited tools. I then brought these pipes to work and MIG welded them, proving a challenge as the metal was very thin and the mock up wasn\u2019t cleanly done. This was my first time welding material this thin.  While exterior wise they were displeasing, inside wise they held pressure and I was able to debur the inside welds. <\/p>

Below is how the pipes were ran.  They started at the turbo 2in pipe from the 2in turbo compressor outlet, They ran to the inter-cooler where it transitioned with a 90deg coupler from 2in to 2.5in, Out the inter-cooler it transitioned from 2.5in to 2in once again, where it ran thru the driver side fender well and up thru the battery tray area where it again transitioned from 2in to 2.5in to the throttle body.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
