Wanted to post some possible useful information for everyone running stock 2" sts piping.
I upgrade to 2.5" from turbo to intercooler and it made a major difference in spool up, responsiveness, less pressure drop. All changes were to the good, I should have done this 4 years ago. No dyno or logs yet, but I am confident that intake temps also might have gone down.

Yeah same here, I was using regular exhaust shop piping (steel), was rusting and heavy, plus too small. The only small issue I am having is boost leaks, I used oval piping and I am having a hard time tightening the clamp on the flat parts of the pipe (top n bottom), using worm gear clamps. I might have to wedge something between the clamp and the coupler to push down in the middle.

ok guys finally got my longblock in from IPP last week and was talking to them and said the only people that where having issues with their built engines where rear mount turbo kit cuz of lack of oil. Has anybody ran into this issue, or does anybody here with a built motor ran into this issue is so what did you do to remedy this issue? thanks

My engine went the same day I picked it up.
Kyle did not warranty the engine nor did he refund my core charge from my original engine.
Don't expect your $ back if if engine goes bang.
Good luck with your build, I'm going with the momentum kit now.

how did you get a lack of oil? even if the pump failed, the turbo would overflow with oil but woudnt be enough to drain your motor of oil. And if the seal on the turbo actually went, your car woulda been smoking like a forest fire well before your oil pressure went low enough to kill the engine.
anyone that has to use a oil sump pump is absolutely crazy not to have an oil pressure gauge.
