Default Any TT SMIC users?

I'm trying to mount the TT SMIC in the SC300 and I've run into a snag with fabing brackets. Can you buy the supra mounts or is there an easier, better way.

Also does the power steering cooler get in the way with stock supra piping. (I realize it's an issue for FMIC)

I appreciate the pics. It's just hard to see exactly how you mounted the intercooler. Specifically, (if your looking at the front of the IC in the picture) the lower right bracket. Did you weld something onto the tow hook or drill? Also, how did you attach the #2 turbo pipe that runs along the engine bay parallel to the sway bar. Thanks.

It's has been a minute from the time I mounted the TT SMIC. From what I remember the SMIC has a mounting plate with Nuts attached. I then used a metal bracket to attach SMIC to this bracket & then to underbody. No welding involved at all.
The #2 turbo pipe that runs along the engine bay parallel to the sway bar. See:

It is made for our car so it should bolt right up. When i took mine off there was two bolts that held the intercooler in.

I wasn't aware that the 2JZGTE SMIC was made for our car. I have a 92 SC300 that definately doesn't have anything to bolt it right up.

Looking for large pictures of anyone that has this sucker mounted
