Another twins piping question

Hey boys, I'm contemplating making my own twin piping. Manifold charger is a 472/871.0 and primary is 488/96/1.32. The compressor inlet on my manifold charger is 5 or 5.5 in. I can't remember and the 488 outlet is 3.5. whats the best way from a flow standpoint and looks standpoint to flare the 3.5 pipe out to v band to the manifold compressor inlet. I know I'll need a reducer I'm just not sure if theres a reducer I can weld onto the compressor inlet that has a v band flange on it or do I need to do a 5 or 5.5 vband on the compressor inlet then reduce with a section of pipe. thanks

I did about the same exact thing, all V-band..
Bought the 3.5" v-band fitting to weld on the manifold charger from Keating. Was quick and easy.

The keating piece is one of the easiest options out there.

I have the exact same turbo setup, I used a 5.5 to 3.5 reducer welded to inlet of manifold turbo then used 3.5" vband, same as jasonc.

love it, ton of air!

that helps boys thanks a bunch

I'm thinking 4 inch for hotpipe yall do 4 or 3.5?

With an S400 secondary I use a 4" hotpipe.
