Turbo and intercooler questions

I am planning to buy the BNR stage 3 turbo upgrade. Does anyone have this setup and what is the inlet diameter where the intercooler connects?

My 2nd question is what are the piping sizes for both the ghreddy 24r and the 32r FMIC?

Should I try to match the piping size to the turbo inlet, or does that not really matter?

I figured it would be pointlless to go from a 3" intercooler piping to a 2.5" turbo inlet.


Any help would be much appreciated.

i belive your compressor outlet will be same like stock size, but you will be better of contacting Bryan from BNR to confirm it

Greddy FMIC (cheapest new version) has 2,5" turbo side of piping and 3" engine side of piping

or something like that (turbo side is matching size of compressor outlet, while TB elbow is 3" or so

Not sure I understand the comment? I am buying the complete kit, but was wondering if the turbo side piping matches up to the stage 3 bnr turbo upgrade with both the 24r or 32r. BTW nice pic

yeah you make it fit with a reducer or new silicone coupler and clamp. I connected my kit to the stock turbo with no problems but with a larger front side on a bnr you might need to hit home depot for a temp fit and then order a proper coupler once you have the size and length down.
