I am glad you like the St. May's piece, and I hope you know you're probably the only person in North America with one for the MK3 Supra.

No intercooler? An intercooler is the charge air cooler that goes between the compound blowers for the not as well informed. Automotive intercoolers are really "charge air coolers", bu the name "intercooler" stuck.

Have you attempted to measure temps going in? Not that you have the space for a real intercooler, but they were installed for a reason. Have you taken a before and after of your installed intercooler?

Are you referring to me? There is an intercooler look in the pictures at the bottom of my post. The intercooler is to cool the charge before it goes in the motor. There is no intercooler between the two turbos, one because there is no room obviously but two why cool the air and then reheat it with the second turbo. It is a compound kit so the big turbo is boosting through the small one. It all goes through the IC before it goes to the motor, also I spray meth which drops the temps crazy amounts.

technically, it is an aftercooler.

HKS Tokyo Carbon Strut Bar. The most expensive rare part because it is priceless. If a price is named...the owner would want a couple of thousand at the minimum.

Is it just me, or is the drivers side strut tower mount not the same in all the photos of that HKS strut brace?

Also is that for the A-70 or is it from the A80 in the same way the A80 braces can fit the A70?

Either way awesome piece of gear, how many were actually made?

There is a local here who has an A70 TRD strut brace that he wants about 1K for

It's Not Important Bro
Wow - I have a MA70 Greddy STB I'd post up but I'd be embarrassed by that HKS. That's the first HKS I've actually seen. I've heard of them, but now thanks to this cool thread, I've seen one. As for the TRD, I have seen them go for $200 to $400 on e-bay but not very often.

Seth - that set up you have is just gorgeous. Speechless!!!

Dan, the pictures actually depict 2 different sets installed on the Supra. One has a tall base, another has a short base.

Also, there is actually a mk3 specific hks stb. If one of them is an mk4 application, in the pics, I'm gonna guess its the one with the tall base because the pictures of the stb that are unmounted are of a set that was beig sold for an mkiv
