Yeah so i was takin the tiny thing they call an intercooler off the car to be cleaned when i decided i really just didnt want to put that stock peice of crap back on. So my buddy reminds me my friend has a Supra sidemount for sale, and i start to thinkin. At first im like theres no way it will work, its a side mount, its 6 inches thick, blah blah blah. I call him up and tell him just to bring it over to see if could in any way we could rip it. So we get the thing and try to fit it somehow in between the where the radiator would go and the bumper support. No luck, the Hood Latch support was right in the way of this intercooler going in. So my freind just says take the bi*** out. So without any hesitaion i do and vwahlah the Supra Side Mount IC fits perfectly in the stock location. It took me about another 2 hours to fabricate piping out of some press bent exhaust tubing, but i got er done So for $125 i have a front mount intercooler that is working freakin amazing. We thought there was no way it would get enough air in the stock location but sure enough it does. After 30 minutes of hard 15 psi runs around the block the pipes after the cold side of the intercooler were still outside air temperature!! As far as i know im the first to actually do this intercooler install. Anyways ill post pics soon, i have to buy batteries for the digi cam. :D
 
Yeah that install rocked (i'm his buddy who sold it to him). Wish the install was that clean on my car and I would have kept it.

You should write a tech article!
