Default Intercooler pipes

Hi, looking a bit of advice regarding intercooler pipes, currently have an rs500 front mount fitted with 50mm pipe coming from turbo and a 60mm pipe into throttle body, was wondering would it be worth while upgrading the 50mm pipe from the turbo up to a 60mm pipe ? The turbo is an mdx321t, thanks for any advice

it wont make a difference its the same size as your turbo outlet and once it gets to intercooler it all disperses anyway bigger is not always better

you would be better off making the pipework as short as possible with the least amount of bends in it

With larger bore pipes the air would lose velocity and gain pressure, albeit on a small scale but nonetheless you want the opposite of that.
And you wouldn't feel any difference whatsoever.

as above, Shorter pipework is a good idea

Pipe work is pretty short as is (reversed manifold) with the only sharp bend being the 90 bend onto the turbo which I might change to a hard pipe, but anyway will leave the rest as is, cheers for the advice fellas, much appreciated
