I can add a front splitter still as there is 3 mounting points beneath the intercooler and you never know you might like it once I have finished all the tidying up but I'm glad I'm getting others opinions

Lol.. I was about to take offence then that you think my intercooler is cheap ebay ****.. The reason I wanted to protect mine as much as possible is everything in my supra build was HKS or Blitz and I am in no hurry to fork out that much money again.... but then I remembered you weren't keen to read the IS200 supercharger build threads so I doubt you've hit the supra section lolololol... I am no longer taking offence

Haha no matey I would never offend anyone for any of there installs everyone had there own style and opinion which I think is great hopefully if my install goes to plan you will all like mine to

I can't see many people liking it mate for the exact reasons Pat stated. But they will definitely give you a well done if it all works as it should.

Well as I stated before it's what I like that counts and I don't mind the criticism it shows me that if not many people like my style then mine should be one of a kind
besides like I said before there is lots to be done yet

Also as for cutting mount points for the tte bumper I've not cut anything other than the bumper itself so all mounts will still be there, and I wanted my own unique bumper anyway I don't want a kit that someone else has already done

But there in lies the issue dude, u are doing a kit copied from a tte kit the only way to make it unique is to use a completely different set up to begin with. With regards mounting points yes they are still there however how u havw mounted the fmic is where the bumper would be

If you want to be unique, remove the power steering pump and put a low mount charger in its place. Or the AC, like the 1g-gze did.
You can run electric power steering instead.

Yeah I understand I know the supercharger setup I'm using is almost the same as the kit, but it's the cheapest way to get more power from a standard 1G-FE lump. But the tte body kit is not what I want I like it but I want my own body kit style that's all. Im not slagging off anyone else's kits just saying I'd like mine to be unique that's all

Thats fine and as we have already said each to there own I just personally wouldnt feel happy having my fmic sat there with the roads we have and the possible damage that can and no doubt will occur. That one items insures ur kit works if thats damaged whilst out on the roads ur in big trouble
