Default Bigger throttle bodies for boosted engines

Does anyone know if you need to get larger diameter charge piping to match up to the throttle body? I'm looking at a 70mm OmniPower TB and was wondering if my current charge piping will work or what is the best way to see the most gains?

too big for a boosted d with a bigger cam?

I'd say 70mm should be fine. Actually, I'd recommend getting an aftermarket intake manifold while you're at it.
