It's on the intake pipe hidden on the bottom right after the filter. My buddy made a "hidden" intake. 3 inch tube welded on the inside of the 4" pipe with blockoff plate forcing the air the go in the 3" piping after the filter. That way the MAF doesn't freak and air passes through 3" pipe then goes out to the 4" pipe. Yes stock ECU and stock injector.

No dash lights on whatsoever. The only ones lit up now, only because I haven't cared enough to pull the bulbs, are the VSC lights since it's all non functional with the setup.
He's doing good, actually had to rehome him when I got an apt since they wouldn't allow pits. A good friend has had him since around 2010. He's a little over 100lbs and pure muscle now lol.

The factory MAF forces air through a 3" pipe, if I did the same install on a 4" pipe the MAF would not be reading correctly. We were going to do that setup with filter>MAF>coupler>pipe>reducer but when it was all done it honestly just looked ghetto to me so we improvised.
No my car is 100% all aristo wiring/ecu. The only thing from the GS300 I still used was the ignitor, electrical wise, which I'm actually ditching tonight. Converting to full USDM Supra TT ignition system so each plug has it's own coil.

Thanks for telling me cruise worked . Tried it out and it's 100% functional but works no higher than 105kph like you said. I honestly would have never tried to use it as I assumed it wouldn't work anymore.

Not as of yet since the downpipe hasn't been modified. Have a pipe slipped in-between flanges till they can find time to cut and extend the downpipe. It's quiet for the most part but you can still hear an exhaust leak there.

Second round of upgrades has started. Doing a full on PROPER paint job after dealing with the paint peeling on my plastic components, crap cut in job in the door jambs it was time. Staying the same Ultrasonic Blue Mica since it's the reason I bought the car and drew me to it. Also adding a kit...it's a love it or hate it kit for sure. Not everyones style and took me about a month of staring at it to really appreciate it. To my knowledge I will be the only one in the states with this particular kit(will post pics when done :P). Once paint is done I have a custom triple 52mm gauge pod I will do on the dash with a full line of Innovate MTX-L gauges. Also have an AEM Infinity 6 engine management that will go in after TX2K. Once PHR can get me fit in I'm having them build a custom breather kit and power steering res kit for me as well.
This is how she sits at this time getting body work etc done, notice the half *** job the last place did(thankfully I didn't pay for) on the doors. I know it's covered up by the door caps but still why be lazy..
