I'm not sure how much $$ the recharging place is charging you, but you could probably have avoided the cost.

I do know about this but I couldn't be bothered. The guy came over and picked it up and probably charged it as his home generator. Then he even installed it back in my car and I didn't even break sweat over it.
Cost was $2.

How do you like your intercooler? Is it ok to run the same amount of boost in the car even with a new intercooler? The last thing I want is to mess around with the electronics of the car (the piggyback chip, the avc-r and the RSM). The car is working beautifully as it is and why try to fix something if it ain't broke???

At first I thought it was gonna lag a bit but with the intake it helps the turbos to spur up in low end and the intercooler helps the top end. But don't get an oversize 3 row intercooler cos' you'll loose lot of low end. A 2 row intercooler is more then enough for even really crazy mods. Enjoy the car.

Thanks for the heads-up, I will look into this matter deeper. What do you think of the HKS type-S? A lot of supra owners think they are overpriced and not as "shiny" as the prettier Greddy 3-rows.......

I guess I could get the 2-row Greddy since it's a lot cheaper than the 3-row and knowing me, I won't do much spirited driving, much less tracking the car.

HKS Type-S or Blitz LM are good buy too. If you think overpriced, ARC is the craziest. As for 3 or 4row intercoolers , if you wanna build high hp car, thatz the way to go but for me I enjoy having this car as a everyday driven car too and having over all balance of power. I have sat in an aristo with a 3 row b4 and the power starts to kick in around 3rd gear plus you got to combine with other mods together with the 3 row intercooler. cos' right now I can go step by step , oil cooler, evc and an e-manage after those mods I will be around 400+ hp and the car will still be ok for city driving with very little lag. So it really comes to what kinda car you want to build now or you want emty your pockets right a way and have a pure high hp drag car. But either way it'll be fun, the thing I love about this car is luxery and power , and could really take on anyone on the road, especially when you take out porsches.hehehe

Oh yeah, George, by the time you come home at the end of December, the car should be quite transformed. Remember the 2000rpm boost lag you were experiencing? It should be gone by the time u r ready to test drive the car in a month.....
....well, at least I hope so. If anything else, at least you'd get to taste what 400hp Aristo feels like.
