Also, in following up on the volumes of the pipe. Approximations, but you'll get the idea.
Saying the OEM hotside charge pipe has a diameter of 1.5" and a length of 36" it's internal volume is 63.62^3". This is an approximation as we know the hotside starts small and grows in diameter as well as not exactly being three feet.
Using the same generalization, if an aftermarket hotside has a diameter of 2.5" with the same length of 36" it's internal volume would be 176.71^3". That is a volume increase of 278%.
When considering we've got almost x3 the amount of space to bring to boost, in just the hotside, it makes sense that it would take a touch longer for the stock turbo to bring everything all the way up.
