Usually 2mm(1/16") wall thickness.
Beat me to it. It's a metric pipe. Also, 3.5mm is pretty close to an 1/8 inch. Not something I would spend money to upgrade to. If you need more diameter then you'll likely need a larger jump in diameter than that.

If HKS thinks it's good enough for their super charger I don't see why it wouldn't be good enough for a similar output turbo. Ace headers are supposed to be some of the best you can get though
