What's the OD of the throttle body? The part where the hose goes on? I wouldn't going bigger than that. That'd also avoid funky transitions right before the t/b.
Sizing your piping ID to your throttle plate size sounds sensible, or to the size of the t/b inlet ID if it tapers to the plate.
Just like a larger intercooler core or longer piping, larger diameter tubing increases turbo lag. CorkyBell's book actually gives formula's to calculate the (lag) time with different ID tubing and airflow rates.
