Driftmotion intercooler kit?

Are you talking about the intercooler itself or the IC piping kit? The piping kit is really good value in my opinion. You get a great selection of pipes, rubber joiners, and good quality clamps.
Well yea I mean the whole Kit in general that they have that comes with the intercooler, and what looks to be pre measured pipes with the all clamps and couplings. I don't care for the BOV since I already the a HKS SSQV but any input is greatly appreciated. This is the kit http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-7m-gteintercoolerkit.php
my buddy has this kit on hit 88t. other than he got it off ebay from cxracing i think. its the same thing. its fitment is pretty good. my only complaint is how the ic outlet is on the other side. not ideal for a stockish 7m set-up.
Just got it shipped in today, everything looks and feels great, even the knock off SSQV looks as if there was SOME effort put into it. I'll take some pics once it's installed.
Thanks to all for the input, and sweet cant wait to see the pics, keep us updated thanks RogueSteel
So I got the intercooler mounted today. Took some fabricating and cutting but I half way got it mounted. The bottom brackets it came with didn't have a big enough slot for the supplied bolts so I used drill bits and made the slots bigger. Then the mounting bracket that bolts to the top of the intercooler I had to cut off two of the tabs because apparently you only use the middle tab and the tab on the passenger side hits the power steering lines so I had to cut it off. Then temporarily I used zip ties to hold the top half up because there is no way in hell that one middle tab bolts to anything so I have to make a 90 degree bracket. Overall I'm not very pleased with the fitment or customer service and Aaron at driftmotion stopped replying to my emails.
i personally talked to aaron before ordering mine which i should have soon, he mentioned to me that it is somewhat of a pain but if theres no frustration or fabrication involved on upgrading a supra, then buy something else. Ill take pics when i go to set mine up, and maybe with enough info between all of us we can make a sticky or how to thread for all the new guys?
Doesnt the hks use a snap ring not v-band?

damn i wish i had mine already take pics if possible then well start a how to thread on the pita. my car is stripped down and ready for install when i get it.
I'm good at fabricating and shit but I bought this kit because it was cheap and looks good and its supposed to be a bolt in affair. Thats what sold me on it. I'm just a little upset at the shit I had to do to get it to work. I'll take some more pics in the light soon.
