Im currently keen to buy a GT35/40 or GT40R turbo for my FD and want to know what would be the best exhaust size for both Turbos?

Thanks

My engine builder said a 3in system doesn't become a limiting factor until around 550-600hp.

from my understanding....on a turbo application there is no extra power to be gained from back pressure so open it up as much as possible.
