Default Pictures of smic intercooler setup?

Anyone got pictures of their side moutn intercooler setup, i.e., where they mounted it and how they ran the piping on the cold side? Is the best best to cut a hole or run it through the stock hole in the fender? On another note, the bolts on the exhaust are not coming loose and thier getting rounder and rounder as I keep stripping them! It's probably the most frustrating thing in the world!

Thanks
Charles

are you going with an NA-T? or 1JZ or what? just use the stock mounting holes and fender cut out for the SMIC and piping. as for the bolts, cut them off, and go buy new ones... it will save you a lot of trouble. if all else fails, send me the car and ill do it all for a fair price

just fly me up for a weekend then. why not run a front mount? the cheap ebay ones actually work really well, and have been proven by many supra owners.

AWJ,
are those metal end tanks on your SMIC? I'm considering metal end tanks as a replacement for my stock supra tt mkIV smic plastic end tanks so any help would be appreciated .
