I saw this on ebay, but i am not to trusting of them anymore. I bought one of the dump pipes and it was garbage(nothing like they said). Wondering what u guys think about the manifold and intercooler. I need a better intercooler, and I want my sr turbo to spool up alittle faster. Thanks

a big front mount won't help your tiny turbo spool faster...

yap.. bigger= more air=lag.

you can try to make the pipping short like the top mount intercooler will helps response and spool up little

im not a fan of ssautochrome, that o2 housing i got didnt even come close to fitting. the stock ca housing fit like a champ and the downpipe sits right where it should. right now its just a big, shiney paperweight.

Thanks guys, i cant believe i forgot the link.

I was thinking between the manifold and the FMIC that it would spool up alittle faster, but i understand what u guys r sayin. *For a top mount intercooler i would have to make a scoop in the hood, and create some kind of bracket, correct? What else would u suggest besides a smaller a/r turbo?

get a good sidemount. i'm running an ARC unit and its awesome. I also saw a beefy as hell blitz one on eBay awhile back that I wouldn't mind having the supra uses a damn huge sidemount that wouldn't be too hard to fit either...

massive lag for the same reaosn fmic adds lag, the air has to travel farther.
