Following on from the discussion of the last few days , this is how I would see the progression for hp using the base Greddy kit .
240- 260whp - stock greddy turbo with the usual recommended upgrades
280-300 whp - Upgrade the compressor to BNR T04e 50 trim or equivalent . Do the wastegate mod or upgrade the actuator .No other major changes required.
330-350 whp - Upgrade the compressor to BNR 60-1 , upgrade the suction piping to 21/2" min the compression piping to the I/C to 21/4" min , upgrade the I/C . Modify the turbo exit for better flow . Fit 3" exhaust . Upgrade fuel pump , injectors , ignition . Do the wastegate mod or upgrade the actuator. Then pray it all hangs together .

it is our nature to mess with stuff. That is how some others make a living.
The scariest words that get in my mind are " I know what i am doing and I can make this better".
If i ever say that out loud my wife has been asked to hit me in the head with whatever is closest.
I remain curious about things, but I now draw the line in making things better. I have learned SOMETHING.

Your actual results may vary (ie when you add an IC) so just use my numbers as sort of a bench mark to compare different piping sizes. One thing you guys will notice is that none of the velocites goes above 304 MPH or 0.4 mach. According to Corky Bell, Maximum Boost pg 61, 304 MPH or 0.4 mach is the point at which airflow meets increased resistance (drag) and flow losses are experienced.
Anyways here are the numbers I came up with. The velocities are in miles per hour and mach, and the flow rates are in cfm. Measurements for the piping are in inches.

Never Blend In

maybe these pics will help you speed things along and answer some questions. my advice, just get an 18" long 3.5" ID tube, cut it in half, weld a MAF flange on one, use the other behind the bumper to the air filter connected with a 90 degree silicone coupler through the core support.

That puts the recommended max for
2 " at 306 g/s - approx. 260whp.
2.25" at 387g/s - approx 340whp
So - perhaps the 2" pipe to the IC should be upgraded earlier than I suggested above .
From Garrett
Tubing Diameter: velocity of 200 - 300 ft/sec is desirable. Too small a diameter will increase pressure drop, too large can slow transient response

No respecter of malarkey
iTrader: (25)
well I checked it out on my car tonight while I was doing some routine maintenance. With a rubber elbow and reinforced silicone hose I could get a 3.5" inlet pipe all the way to the motor mount bracket fairly easily. However, I started this by saying "if it were me". I'm funny that way, not suggesting that anyone else should or would do it. As I've proven, it's the summation of incremental improvements combined that net a worthy impact. My car is at 2700# with a full interior. It never could have gotten there if I had the negative mindset that the little bit here and the little bit there doesn't make any difference.
ps: in the calculations above you may have confused boosted/pressurized piping with suction/intake piping. The Corky Bell reference is for pressurized piping, not the turbo inlet/suction piping.
