Depends on how you look at it and want it done. going from a 2" Hot Pipe into an Enormous 3" intercooler like that Will make allot more turbulence

won't that piping transition create a shit ton of turbulence?
like jeff said the reducer coupler would be a better route because it's a smoother transition from the smaller pipe to the larger pipe.
no offense, but what you did is gonna create a train wreck inside your piping.

How is that going to make a train wreck? My client wanted full 3" intercooler piping. the closest to the Turbo i can make it 3" the better. i could not find any high quality 3' - 2" 4ply silicone reducers. that are high temp. as close as that piping is to the manifold i did not want my customer to be melting couplers like they where marshmallows.
another thing. is that going from 2-> 2.5" ->3" would require more couplers, more and more clamps. making chances of boost leaks allot more probable. yes I could have gone that route, but then he wouldn't have a true full 3" Intercooler piping like he wanted. i mean if you look at a GTR's Hot pipe off the turbo that alone makes wayyyy more turbulence than that hot pipe.
this is a good example
see how it's like a T. i really don't see how my reduction will be a "train wreck" as far as responce goes, it's all about the tuning and your motor. look at RB26's they are the perfect example of this. they have full 3" intercooler piping. 2.6liters, and Twin T28's yet their spool is phenomenal and response is insane.
so a 2l iter should have no problem with this, specially if he gets a nice set of cams and proper tuning.
