Default Comptech exhaust and turbo?

Does anyone know if the Comptech cat back is large enough for turbo?

I'm looking at getting a new exhaust. Something that is fairly quiet, but still performance oriented. Eventually, I'll be adding a turbo with probably 6-7 psi of boost. This won't be for about a year or so as I'd like to research it a bit more. I'd like to get the catback now, but I don't want to have to buy another one in a year if this one won't work.
Of course when the turbo goes on, I'll add a high flow cat to it.

Any suggestions?

It probably wouldn't hurt power much. For up to 250 hp on a turbo setup, a 2.5 inch diameter piping is a good size but you will be hurting flow going much larger than that. I am running the Greddy Evo with 60 mm (2.36") piping and I don't have any issues.

the comptech is 2.25" which is ok for the amount of boost you say you'll be running. but if you want to up the boost upping the exhaust would be a good idea too.

Cool! Thanks for the info guys. I'll do some searching on the board for other sizes to see what's good. I know it's been covered a few hundred times.
