I'm going to pickup a FMIC to finish up my swap. My questions is, would it be okay to go with 2.5"OD inlets? I see options for 2.25, but I'd rather get one with 2.5", if there isn't any negitive effects. I can get piping easier in this size. I'll be runnning the T25 for a few months before I upgrade.

Should be just fine. The only negative effect i can even think of is that it might take a split second longer to pressurize the larger volume created by larger piping.

So, how many seconds will this take off my 1/4 time?

lol just kidding.. that's what my biggest concern was if having bigger piping would effect the time it takes to pressurize. I guess it wouldn't be noticeable.

I'm just trying to think ahead if I plan on upgrading the turbo.

Thanks!
