Thanks for the compliments. Yeah I drive it daily. It's been a joy to drive. The place that did my swap is called Drag International down here in Ft. Lauderdale. The owner actually has a 900hp 1st gen swap they did many years ago. They were one of the first shops to complete the swap actually.

I'm happy with the way the BOV turned out. I can't wait to install it to see how it matches up with the strut bar. I finally got around to installing a new diaphragm into it last night so I should be getting it done very soon.

Aside from the shots of the interior in the last thread and the couple pics I took with the Recaro, it's pretty much the same. I did buy a Greddy Turbo Timer II, the thin one, but I have yet to get it hooked up. I'll post pics of where I mounted it. I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I've been to busy with other things.

Default brakes???

Hey bro been following your threads and I've got a 1gs I'm in the middle of swapping a bunch of stuff on and I also want the Supra tt brake swap and I've only been able to find used trash on ebay and at my local jdm shops and your stuff looked new so I was wondering where you sourced all your parts?

Hey guys... just a few updates:

So in the first week of October, I got around to mounting my turbo timer in the location I wanted. It's the Greddy Full Auto Timer II that's now discontinued. I was able to install it in the clock location. I still have to get it wired up but this will give you an idea of how it's supposed to be.

Around Thanksgiving, I ended up getting my Greddy Type S installed. I had a welder make an aluminum intercooler pipe with the type-s flange welded on. Here are a few pics he has sent me when he finished up the pipe.

Now most recently, I FINALLY got the passenger side rail for my other Recaro seat from Japan. Took about a month to get it after a LOT of research and searching for this. Funny enough, when I ordered it, I hadn't realized that it was brand new when I ordered it. I was expecting it to be used to trying to figure out the Japanese instructions was harder than trying to put together a piece of furniture from IKEA but I figured it out!

I was just wondering how much work the firewall needed in order to get the aristo turbo manifold in there.

I think I had to pound my firewall a good inch to get the rear turbo to clear on the side. And hooking up the heater hose behind that rear turbo is even harder.

That's the part I'm afraid of. I wanted to try to avoid that, but I'm guessing it would just cost more money and I should stop trying to be lazy.
