Message I'd like to point out that the Mk4 supra sidemount intercooler is an upgrade for the DSM community. In fact I believe remember being quoted that the Supra sidemount was good till around the 400hp range (2.0L 4-cyl engine). The supra isn't a true twin-turbo either. So even in it's sequential twin-turbo trim the plumbing for the intake is similar to that of a single turbo car. Ours is a true twin-turbo design and our dual throttle bodies further complicate the issue.

If you wanted to do a proper front mount setup on our cars the following should be done:

1) Move the oil cooler to the sidemount location.
2) Run dual mafs with the intake locations moved to the sidemount locations.
3) Duct the nose pannel to supply additional air to the radiator.
4) Run an electric fan on the radiator.
