Hello, I am currently trying to decide between 2 sizes of Head Supershape i.Speed (2016-2017) 170cm(14m radius) and 163cm(12.7m radius). I am an intermediate-advanced skier who likes to ski moderately fast in hard pack groomers, ice and the occasional bumps on east coast snow. I am 168cm tall and 150pounds. I enjoy very short carving turns and a light but still stable ski. I had a pair of Rossi Exp88 at 170 (way to big/bulky) and I hated them so I am fearful of buying another 170cm because I feel it may feel too bulky but I don't know if the 163cm would be too small.
What size do you recommend 170cm(14m turning radius) or 163cm(12.7m turning radius).

168cm and 150lbs?
Carvers are more about the radius than running length stability.
If I were your size and were after (as you said) a very tight carver, no question the 163's.
