Default intercooler pipe diameter

ive decided to change my intercooler from a strapped volvo I/C to a bar and plate ally one, but im unsure of what diameter pipes to go for. Again response is my main concern rather than massive power.
Im currently using 60mm external tube but was thinking of 63mm tubing with matching I/C inlet/outlet ports.
Questions are:-
what sizes do people use on 250-300bhp setups?
has anyone found advantages/disadvantages from going bigger or smaller?
any thoughts?
any issues with I/C port sizes?
should i buy an I/c with the same size inlet/ outlets, or go larger and use silicone reducers to attach to the pipework.

thanks for your help as always chaps
