Im running 2.5" hard pipes....stock piping routing

Im running the stock ct26 at 10 psi of boost.

If you aren't going to buy from www.driftmotion.com then I would go with one or two for the stock ic piping. Number three would be a little more difficult to run the piping to. Good luck.

Ok, don't buy shit off ebay, we have really nice vendors that have great deals here that help the supra community and stand behind there product.

Go to Driftmotion.com and get your IC there. They have a bolt on IC for your car.

Its not that i dont support the vendors from here, ive bought from driftmotion in the past. I just dont have the money to buy from the right now.

I have the longer version of you first linked one (bought from DM.com). Mine *should* support 500HP no probs.

Check this thread out.

It's $80 more and better quality and you know they have great service. Don't chance an $85 intercooler on your car. I couldn't afford the HKS IC that I have when it was new so I finally sourced one out for $300 and the best $300 I've spent.

 

[starscream5000]

There are no moving parts in an IC, what's to risk??

 

[OneJArpus]

you have my vote for XSpower intercooler. IIRC i got my IC through DM and its n XSpower 1 i think I'll verify this when ever i have time.

 

[starscream5000]

That's what mine looks like. The piece of shit oil cooler on this car has to be relocated to put this bad boy on.

i agree. why spend extra money on the same product?

my question is do you guys think he should ever bother at only 10psi? i would like to know and i'm sure others would too.

 

[starscream5000]

I'm running 10 pounds of boost here and noticed a huge difference, mainly in the complete lack of traction in first and half way through second gear, but I did replace the stock pipes at the same time...

 

[Angry7M]

To be honest both of these look identical , and i really dont feel like spending more money for the same intercooler.

I agree they look the same but Aaron still gets my vote and money. If you have any questions/problems during install who you gonna call with the ebay IC? Aaron is on the ball when it comes to customer service even after the sell.

 

[10secdream]

Agreed Aaron goes above and beyond and backs his products 100%. He actually uses the products he sells.

 

[arizzle]

same intercooler or not you cant put a price on good customer service

Well fuck me sideways.

Damn, IC's got cheap all of a sudden :nono:

I have to admit, If I had to do it over again, I would have waited and saved a shit load of money and just got that one instead.

 

[MKIIINA]

then get the ebay IC and be done with it. I have been running one for over 2 years now without issue at slightly higher boost pressure (18-20ish).

as for the question if you need it now, it will help. the stock ic is a pressure drop dead zone so they rest won't have to work as hard.

I've already got one, that's why I posted that way. If I knew they were getting that cheap a year ago, I could have waited.

Go for the Driftmotion intercooler.

Put one on the other week with new hardpipes. What a difference vs the stock ic with plastic/rubber piping at 10psi.

Much better throttle responce and power.
Also makes the turbo and bov more audible.
