I'm just worried about flow-thru as well and picking the right size.

I worried about the same. Hasn't been a problem yet, but I honestly planned on tossing a fan on it at some point anyway. Or dual good sized fans on the radiator. 4" is a hell of a lot bigger than you think it is too.

I plan on going full size aluminum and good fans, not the ebay/cheap junk i usually go with.

I will keep AC no matter what.

ETS ftw, I made a 2d drawing and boom I had it and they said it should support 900whp with safe intake air temps.

I got rid of the AC, so that wasn't my concern. I did get mine anodized black. Blah blah blah it gets hotter and all that other crap...never have had a problem. Not that my car ever actually moves these days.

What in/out size should I get?

2.5" or 3".

I was thinking 2.5" but someone mentioned that 6262 sized turbos usually step to a 3" outlet and they flow enough air to warrant a 3".

I'm not sure I've never really looked into the 2.5" vs 3" I think up to 600whp DJ 2.5" is good

I have seen 1000whp on 2.5" intercooler piping. Plenty of 600-850whp turbo cars run 2.5". I am not saying though that 3" might not help and make more power, I had 2.5" hot side and 3" cold side on my 2G.

Cool, I think with the AC I'll stay with 2.5" for clearance.

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it.
