pipe diameter isn't that important

as anything between 2 and 3 inches will be just fine. The changes in the diameters (at the joints) should be as smooth and gradual as possible to avoid creating turbulence in the airflow. Getting bigger pipes will of course improve the flow but on the other hand they will cause some more turbo lag. And because the air has been cooled and has become denser in the ic the sizing of the pipes from ic to throttle body can be a bit smaller than the pipes that go from turbo to the ic.
A metric diameter of 60mm (2,4 inch) is popular at least over here in Europe as it is a common measurement for both the aluminium pipes and silicone hose to go over it at the clamps.
