looks good, one suggestion, try to wrap as much of the o2 sensor wires(or any wires in the vicinity) with some type of covering, the rubber tends to get soft with the heat, etc generated from the mani.

Actually the intercooler is centered.
The problem is the pipes came out at different distances from the front bumper so the intercooler is pretty crooked.
The reason this happened is I have pipes made for the Supra and they were made to hang down below the fan shroud.
I didn't like that idea, and figured out another way to route them, but this is the result.
You get what you pay for, and I was saving money. =)
EDIT: P.S. The install probably looks amateur because it is amateur. This is my first ever Turbo installed in my pathetic excuse of a garage in under 2 days because this is my daily and I couldn't have it down longer than just that weekend.
Tuning was done next day on the way to work.

Looks to me like the O2 sensors are already wrapped in some kind of heat-resistant stuff, but I'll definitely take another look at all the surrounding rubber and replace with silicone as needed.

Thanks, and....alive...for now.
Powershifting into 2nd gear just burns the clutch and gets me nowhere.
I'm learning to drop the throttle in the 1st-2nd shift even when racing. Whoosh!
Doesn't matter though. Soon as I hit the gas again in 2nd..."chirp" and I'm off.

Right on SPORTcoupe... thumbs up to you for doing the install yourself. It always feels good to get something like that done on your own! Everytime you whale on the car in the next lane the feeling comes back

At most, maybe, 2-3 inches off. Looks damn good to me though, good work.
