Default is larger diameter up pipe no good?

ive just just fitted a greddy solid up pipe to my w reg turbo along with mildly ported headers and full ninja exhaust . the up pipe looked a bit bigger diameter,will this affect spool up or will it make it better? thanks

yes it should do. i had one fitted to my uk turbo with the manifold at the same time but i would highly recommend that you have it mapped or you may come across boost problems.

I asked this a while ago and Pavlo responded saying that a 2" pipe seems to be about right for most applications. Might be worth porting the turbine inlet to match if you can.
