I dont see why you'd have to change turbo pedistals and everything just to swap the intakes.
I understand though if you are refering about using the x-pipe being as the exit is a bit smaller.
But, if you bought an X-Pipe with our out, and the 3 inch intakes, you'd be okay.
I woudlnt' want to downgrade my turbo.

The problem is the larger intakes would do you ABSOLUTELY no good without swaping the turbo and all the components. The outlet of the turbo and the inlet of the plunems are the same size. So why have a small turbo outlet and larger intake openings? It would do no good cause the air will only flow as much as it can though that smaller opening.
The other reason for changing to a SD turbo and all it's components is because the up-pipe having a different turbo connection as well as the turbo mounts to the pedestal completely different. So that's why it's all or nothing to make it work like it's suppose to.

Try it and see how it goes... It's just not as simple as you think. But if you feel we're wrong, then go ahead and give it a whirl.
