I'll try not to 
One nice thing about it is that it's about 1" thinner so Ill have a little more ground clearance.

I also mocked up the hot side intercooler piping and had Pappy bring it home with him to weld up. We were going to weld it up yesterday / last night, but the beer was tasting good and ran out of time :rofl:
pappy can weld pretty dam good! A lot better then I could do.
Here is some pics. IC piping from the turbo to the Intercooler all welded up. Im crossing my fingers I marked the pipes correct and still fits. Im hoping I can get out to the garage later today to get it installed, re-install the front bumper, and the splash shields. Then hopefully take the sup off jack stands once again.
just a quick update

My roommate and I have a spare 7M-GTE block or two.
Well I typed everything out and I pressed the WRONG button, and closed the fing window. So now Im just going to do cliff notes since I dont want to re type everything.
Everything re-installed, started her up, warmed it up and went for a short 19 miles cruse tonight. Had to add another 1/2 qt of oil, (now up to the system holding a little over 8 qts.) but Huston we have a problem, I can only get 6 lbs of boost MAX( this is with the EBC turned all the way up). All of this and no fuel cut, so I dont think there is boost leak rather the EBS needs to get reprogrammed or the waste gate is stuck open. Feel free to share your ideas as for what the hell is going on there.
Also one of my fuel pressure gauges is wrong. The gauge on the AFPR reads 32 psi at idle, and the pro sport gauge (reading right off the fuel rail) is reading 42 psi at idle. Umm, JUNK..
The jury is still out on the new front lip, not sure if I like it or not.. The oil temp held about 185, but it is cool out tonight so we will wait to pass good or bad till a warm day, More pic tomorrow, now time for some COLD BEER.
NO MORE JACK STANDS!
A few from the quick run to the local pub and back (cell phone pics).

Looking good Rob. Can't wait to go with the St. Cloud boys on a few runs. It was fun last summer, should be even better this year.
My car is still a bit away from being ready. Shes goes in to get roll bar next week. Waiting for the new turbo. Then a quick tune and we are done, except for that stereo system.

Rob- nice job, but I'm interested in why the boost isn't coming on...
Matt- You won't be disappointed in Rob's car, it's very nice and well done-up. (but oh, those gauges are bright at night!)

Thank you, yep it should be fun. Like I have said before just pick up the MDF, and I can make a speaker box for you if you want.

Thank you!, Im also interested in what the hell is up with the boost. First I need to swap exhaust to she is quiet again then to some trouble shooting on a country road. And YES, the prosport gauges and SUPER bright at night :cry:. When I first put them in I was like "what the fuck, I'm blind, turn down the spot lights". Now I have just got use to them, but would still like them dimmer.

MORE SCHOOL!!! Well at least you have a Job/career, Those are hard to find
Im still looking. Im sure I will wrench on it because This boost thing has me confused. Im guessing the profec A is messed up and needs to be re-programmed.

Cool build, subscribed!
BTW you dont need washers on the carbon panel. When the hood is closed, the latch keeps the panel from going anywhere

Thank you!!! BTW the CF panel fits pretty good.
I figured it wouldn't but with the hood open it rattles, shakes, bounces around. I just wanted a more secure fit. I'm crossing my fingers that my head light motors don't go out on me. I wouldn't be able remove the the rubber caps any more with out removing the washers.
Well today after my interview I figured I would finish installing the HK$ exhaust and polish up the tips. A couple days ago (in preparation) I re-primed then re painted the rear muffler. The original paint was chipped up, and look like poo. Also before I installed it I weighted it because this mo fo is HEAVY! The mid section came in at 21 lbs, and the rear muffler came in at a whopping 25 lbs. One really nice thing about it it looks OEM, and is nice and super quiet.
One bad thing I did find wile under the supra, a crack in the rear sub frame. On the right side where the rear end bolts up, pic below.
And since I was in the picture taking mood I snapped a few wile in the garage of the new stuff. (I couldn't get any decent one of the turbo :cry: ) Well enough reading on to the pics. More to come once I bring her out side again. The wall is in the way for a good pic of the muffler / tips.
CRACK!!
What's the plan for the subframe then? I got under my car this winter and my diff bolts were finger loose, I didn't check for cracks, but I'm worried.
Im leaving it for now, driving season is among us. Maybe some day (next winter) drop it , reinforce it, then weld it all up. But not really sure yet.
Well I took her out again just now, and I can not get the profec A to program :: angry :::: angry ::
I can get it to go to "P1" where it learns the max boost, but it wont read anything. The vac lines are hooked up correct (I checked 4 times now), but it still wont read anything. Maybe tomorrow I'll look to check the "dip switches" on the back of it. I just dont under stand, for the most part it is the same as the ct26, actuator style for the waste gate. And it worked just fine last summer/fall with the ct in the car. Umm.........
I did hit fuel cut today when trying to program it( around 5400 rpm's). This turbo is all top end, nothing till 3500 or more. The ct26 felt WAY faster!?!?!?!?!:aigo: I guessing because it kicked in at lower rpms.
Well after trying to program it I took the supra threw the car was to get all the dust off, now time for :beer:, and mess around with the ps3. Im trying to load the digital movies onto the HD, but so far it isnt working so good. District 9 downloaded just fine, but the other I have no so much. I wonder if it has something to do with sony, since they made District 9 or something.????
