The kit I am seeing on the site provided is only $649. Does that come with the piping, or is it extra? I think that is a steal for an intercooler of that quality

Looks like just the IC, as their IC piping is a separate category.

I'd call to make sure.

the2ndr · 04-04-2006, 01:05 PM

I have a supra mk4 tt sidemount but its too fat to stick on the driver side how i want to. I think Im going to see if full race will sell me just the i/c only. I havent seen the first dyno recently of these top mounts yet. Im not looking for power, I'm just tired of my charge pipes being cooked by my turbo manifold.

mr2freeek · 04-22-2006, 06:33 AM

Does anyone have a link to the piping?

Pentaxis · 04-22-2006, 12:50 PM

Does anyone actually have this intercooler? I would like to see what it is capable of for more than just a short run...

the2ndr · 04-28-2006, 11:07 AM

I have the top mount set up now with a bigger core than the Full race, but my fuel pump died about 3 or 4 days after installing this core. I can't offer any impressions or power gains yet if any becuause my fuel tank is still sitting on the floor. Im still using the AFM also. If I can make 320whp@16psi at my next dyno session this will be worth it. Since the core is bigger than the greddy I had, Im assuming Im getting more flow. Im also using 2.5'' piping.
