Question for those with WRX intercoolers

What is the OD of the throttle body?

What is the OD of the throttle body connector part on the intercooler?

The throttle body is just around 70mm, OD.

So are you using a 3" connector?

Yes, the throttle body has a 70mm inlet. And I believe the WRX intercooler's outlet has the same diameter.

You can make a 3" connector fit if you cinch down the hose clamps real tight, but 2-3/4" fits better. You just need a short piece of hose.

I'm hoping the intercooler I get has one.
