Don't get the Blitz you have to cut into your fender. Don't get the Apex because it is small as crap and won't support high HP...you get what you pay for. Get the Greddy 3row or HKS. Oh yeah, the instructions SUCK on the Greddy. I think Helen Keller could have done a better job writing them.

which one are you running? i was thinking about the greddy as well, seems like an easier install, but thought it was overpriced just because it was "greddy".

I'm running the Greddy 3row. The Greddy is actually priced quite well. The Apex is MUCH smaller and as I said the Blitz is a PITA to install and you have to cut your fender to install it.

Fuk all the commercial shit. I use this custom intercooler which cost me only $250 shipped: 31x6x2.75



No pressure drop even with a 2.5" inlet and outlet which was an increase of pipe sizing for me. I used to have the GReddy Type31 and came with a piping size of less than 2.25" diameter.

Which exhaust are you getting? Still runing the stock one? Most people get an exhaust before the FMIC.

thats the exhausts im leaning towards.......i need and want to replace my intercooler piping so i decided to just go and replace the whole intercooler instead of replacing with stock pieces. on the horizon im getting my boost controller (greddy profec b) as well as some other goodies. already running a 3''down pipe.

Whats wrong with the piping? Either of those exhausts would do you just fine. I'm not fond of either however its just a matter of choice so no biggie. The Profec B is a good unit. I personally use a MBC....$15... wooooooo hoooooo

well i had that one tear that i made a thread about awhile back, and we fixed that. but then i developed another one that couldnt find, took it to the dealer, now it runs a bit better, but NOWHERE near the power it should, and when it would normally take off around 3500 or so, now doesnt happen until close to 5500. sounds like theirs a small leak and i hear it more on the drivers side. the dealer replaced a few small things, but it feels really weak now. they messed with my wastegate a bit, that may have something to do with it too, but to be honest im not sure. i havent owned a supra long enough to know it inside and out, ive been hittin the different supra forums hard.
