Very nice install! I just finish my xspower na-t install as well and love this kit. For the price it's the only thing out there. The only thing left for me is the AEM fi/c install and tuning. What did you use for emanange? I really like how you did the intercooling piping. Who made the piping?

In the vids the car isn't really tuned yet. Tweaking will be done in a few weeks once I get my clutch. Its slipping around 5psi every once and a while it doesn't slip but i just let off. For management its just a simple setup it consists of a SAFC2, stock injectors, stock pump. I have MK3 440s that are yet to be installed I just need the MK3 resistor box and most likely a TT pump or walbro 255. As far as the intercooler piping goes that was done by my friend and I. Its the universal kit that you can order from XSPower. We cut them up Tig welded them and them welded nipples to the end of each pipe so that they would not pop loose. If you need piping made contact me via pm.

the sc and the supra are very heavy because they need a long engine bay for the i6 and i6 isnt exactly light weight.
The supra/sc isnt a good track car to begin with, straight line all the way.

well the evo is awd and can make good power on this small displacement motor. Because its motor is soo small, the cars weight is low which means it very good around corners.

Lexus and Mitsubishi = totally different animals. Evo uses aluminum and carbon for weight savings. A full weight evo weighs about 3400lbs. Full weight SC is about 3300lbs. The actual weight is in favor of the sc300. The only difference is the Evo is engineered to distribute that weight in track conditions. An SC300 was made to feel like a quality car when driving. Drive the two cars and you'll realize how cheap the Evo feels. Had the SC been engineered to handle like it was on rails it would've been lighter and had stiffer suspension. And a more track friendly engine combo.
As they sit side by side now the Evo will run laps around even a track prepped SC300 due to the clumsy weight it possess'. An Evo is an awesome car in its own right but to compare to an SC300 which isn't even in the same class is kind of silly.
