Default Intercooler problems

So Im building my custom kit here and my turbo outlet size is 2". The only intercooler kits I can find the hot side inlet is like 2.5" 2.25" or 3". Any way I could get around this? Like is it fine to just get a pipe that goes from 2" to whatever size the rest of the piping is and be fine? Any ideas are apprectiated thanks guys.

Most intercooler piping is 2.5 inches. Just get a reducing coupler, 2" to 2.5", to go from your turbo to the intercooler piping or to whatever size piping you choose.

That's what I figured. Was just making sure it wasn't going to inhibit flow or anything

Hell naw, just stick the 2" inside the intercooler, shoot some expanding foam in, to seal it, and wrap the joints with scotch tape.
