Then you have to build you own brackets. I used a iron bar, and some M6 bolts. I tried to

reuse the nuts or bolts that already were on the car so you doen't have to drill holes. The

IC has plenty of 6mm nuts on the upper end tank so it's pretty easy.

Next step is to redo the piping.

Here you can see the lower input piping. I reused the stock one without having to cut it or

modify it.
As you see, i had to connect two rubber pipes. To be able to tighten the clamp i put a short

piece of 2" steel piping into the stock IC pipe, so you can tight en the clamp very well. I

also put some silicone sealant on the two rubber pipes to make them seal perfect.

Then the upper part. Luckily, some time ago i build my own UICP with 2,5" SS piping and got that blue silicon elbow. So i can reuse it with no problems or modifications.

Then time to put the wheel splash screen again. AS you can see i had to cut the plastic

screen a bit on the lower left side. where it bends to the inside a bit. The IC was so close

to the shield that i wasn't able to put the plastic bolts back in. So i had to cut it a bit.

The improvement is very notticeable. The spoolup is a lot faster now and it flows a lot more

than the stock one. On the summer it's very efficient too. Not as a front mount i guess but

i'm very happy with it.

Hope it will help somebody.


Added later on 2006:

I installed a 16G few months ago and modified the wheel well.
Because of the new turbo i modified the lower IC piping. Now it looks awesome and all the

piping is 2,5". I also put a mesh instead of the plastic wheel well guard.

Here you can see some pics of it:

No pic of the wheel well guard already installed on the car sorry.

I also added the air duct from the supra IC few weeks ago.
