2.5" exhaust or 3" exhaust
people are telling me 3" exhaust is not recommended because of over boost, but i've been reading a lot, and most people has a 3" setup. downpipe, presilencer/straightpipe, then exhaust. So what is better 3 or 2.5?

if you still have the stock intake then a 3inch should give you about 11psi so as long as everything else is working fine you should be ok.
I would recomend porting you wastegate either way tho. just to be safe. Its 3 hours work or so and its worth while when compare to a blown engine which is what will happen if you lean out from over boosting which happens far to easy in these cars. you will also need a FCD if you intend to go over 8psi

really depends on your set up. Sounds like you got stock turbo. Think about this, if you have a more open exhuast, you're boost will go up.
Can your turbo handle 12 + lbs?
how old is the turbo? IT may need a rebuild.
I run a 3" dp and 2.75 exhuast. i am still having boost issues in 4-5th gear and I have a ported wastegate.
You really need to figure out what you are doing with this car. fast spooling? late powerband? your question is too vague.
