Are you sure your NPR is 2.5? I could have sworn mine is 2.75.

Anyway, try to run as much as possible using the same size as the intercooler outlet. You're going to need a reducer anyway, place it on the elbow before the Throttlebody.

use all 2.5" i/c piping

On my single I use 2.5" to the IC & 3" from the IC to the TB inlet as this was the way I designed the IC inlet & outlet.

You may find as I did/do when playing with the std or hybrid turbos that use the stg WG that as you go up in IC piping size or as you make the IC more efficient that you will have masive mid range boost, that will taper off alot as you go higher up in the rev range near 7k.

See how you go.
