Message They are very small turbos, like stock. I have them with stock IC piping and inlet piping with greddy intercoolers, 3" downpipes/MS manifolds and my spoolup is very fast, pretty much like stage3 with stock turbos.

instead of spending all that money (Which adds up quickly. 800 for IC piping, 800 for massives, 300 for inlet piping, idk how much to remachine the turbo housings) on piping which might marginally increase your spoolup and power on such small turbos, spend the money elsewhere, like getting a blitz sbcid2, and some good suspension (from your mod list you seem to be on stock suspension)

as far as what you really need for supporting mods.

1. 740cc injectors (if you have stock injectors)
2. Upgraded intercoolers
3. 5 bolt 3" downpipes
4. 3 to 2.5" test pipes (or full 3 inch if you are willing to accept a lot more noise for the extra power)
5. 2.5" or 3" exhaust
6. Selin Dual MAF translator and Dual JWT POP chargers.
7. ECU
8. Electronic boost controller. I'd recommend the Blitz SBC ID2

you can just look at my mod list. I had my build done with 530's, and tried not to get carried away with buying every conceivable mod there is.

with the bigger turbos, the ashspec piping is definitely a huge gain and pretty much a necessity based on the results people have had. However, with the 530's, you'll be just fine without it and you would be better served putting the money elsewhere, or having some extra cash to put towards the random unforeseen things that you will need to replace once your motor is pulled.
