    hey quick question, what size coupler did you put on the outlet of the turbo? is it 3.25 or 3.5"? I eyeballed it and thought i could squeeze a 3" on there but I'm having no luck with that.

    I'll chime in for this lol, hope u dont mind !-)
    Its 3.25" AND its still tight. I ended up grinding a lil off the compressor outlet lip to get it to fit.
