Read  this, did Dawson have to do anything on his 
original D.I.C.K. FMIC  build?

3. We  had to build up the 2.5" alum pipe to an OD of 2.75 to fit
the turbo outlet  hose. Dunno why Audi did this, and it was
a PITA for a beginner welder. We  rolled up a piece of sheet AL
into a tube of 2.75" OD, cut slits in that  and bent in to 
the 2.5" pipe and welded it enough so I could smooth it  with
a die grinder (it sounds easy enough...)




No, I didn't have to build up to 2 3/4 because I wasn't using the stock or  
Samco turbo to x-over tube hose.  My turbo has a 2" outlet, so all I needed  
was a 2 to 2 1/2 silicon transition hose.
