Pre-Hack Repost: DIY Eaton Supercharger, Why Not?

was it simply a smaller diameter piping so as not ALL the exhaust went into the turbo?

I have the picture on tinypic ill have to look it up later, but the intake will come to a pipe right off of the turbo cold side...

I am not sure what you mean by that question... exhaust gasses flow from manifold > turbo... then it rerouted from turbo back to exhaust system...

The piping looked to be around 2...2-1/2 inches

Not that is matters a great deal for the power level we are talking about, but the exhaust for the turbo was routed from the back of the exhuast manifold up to the turbo (positioned in the area adjacent to the factory air filter). The size of this tubing could be anywhere from 2-2.5 inches with no effect on power. After runnning through the turbo, the exhaust exits the turbine side and is routed back (next to up pipe) out the back of the car to connect to factory or other exhuast system. Wastegate exhaust is routed in same pipe. Cone filter is located in near stock location.
