I always had hell keeping flex joints in my hot pipes, and that was with a regular 5.3/mp70 setup running on 8psi. I never checked back pressure though.

How much do you think the down pipe and exhaust size matters relative to the turbine housing? Like 3" vs 4" from the turbine back?

In the case of turbos, its ALWAYS better to have as big as exhaust as you can fit (or tolerate sound wise). You want the air coming out of the turbine to be as unrestricted as possible.
