If you were purchasing intercooler couplings then a 2.5" would do just fine. Since the thin wall of the piping is taken into consideration. Using a fernco coupling from a harware store you would have to get a 2" due the the wall thickness. The inside diameter of the hardware store 2" coupling is just slightly under 2.5"

Holy crap people, most of you have the learn how to use a dial caliper, as it's the proper instrument for measurement in this case.
NZConvertible is right - the proper O.D. (OUTSIDE DIAMETER, for those who have no clue what the acronym stands for) is *60mm*.
A 2.0" hose will stretch to accomodate the slightly larger 60mm.
BTW, 2.0" = ~52mm (multiply by 2.54), so we're talking about a 8mm difference in diameter.
Flexibile rubber / silicone will stretch, but this is not recommended.
Not recommended?
Why?
That particular application has heat and vibration.
Using too-small of a hose will prematurely cause it to crack and fail, especially in the case with non-reinforced rubber.
2.5" is a better compromise - just tight the clamp down to the smaller 60mm O.D. of the turbo inlet.
2.5" = ~65mm, so we're talking ~5mm oversized.
Is the name calling really necessary here???
