so if I make this piston and put it into a 2" T and have a 2 inch pipe, down to a 1" pilot on one side, and a 2" to a 1.5" on the other, it will work? I am getting confused, i thought it was the size of the piston face that determined which direction it would go. will i be bale to use it the way i listed?

do I need to modify the adapter, so that the 1.5" barrel goes into the T, or can I do a regular adapter, and go from a 2" to a 1.5" outside of the T?, do I have to modify anything inside of the T, or can I just put the piston in it?

Yeah the pipe needs to go into the tee, so modify the bushing.

there needs to be a small leak between pilot and the chamber.

depending on the type of piston you use, you may have to make a small check valve, and or a few small equalization holes. This is what confused me when I started making ptstons!!
