greddy turbo pipe sizes?

I was wondering what size the greddy intake pipes are from the intercooler to the throttle-body?

also anyone got a pic from inside the engine bay that clearly shows where it passes through to the front of the car?

thanks gregs!

so it is 2" from the turbo all the way to the intercooler with a 2.5" inlet and then it is 2.5 back past the radiator and 3" to the throttle?

No.

I guess asking you to read the manual was just too ambitious?

that's where I got the sizes from 50mm is about 2", 60mm is about 2.35" and 80 is 3" approximately. c2 and 3 are 50mm and go to the intercooler and you can see a reducing coupler from c3 to the intercooler. c4,5, are 60 and C6 is 80. looks like a straight joiner on the other side of the intercooler attaching to C-4 so the intercooler looks like 60mm inlet and outlets.

The visuals are lacking with the GReddy instructions, but they do show a picture of each pipe and name is, then tell how it all lays out. Then it all goes in pretty easily, once you figure out how to wiggle the pipes through the cavities.

Plus, the instructions list the size of every single pipe in the kit.

Those are oil coolers. Manual transmission cars have two.
