Hey Phil, how do you mount the intercooler to the crash bar? I havent taken mine off yet but I'm about to. I just dont know how to mount it. We're probably gonna be doing that part tomorrow night so I'm tryin to figure that part out before then.

blktc: We're not meeting this weekend, but I think next weekend. We're working on new dates and stuff, so I'll keep you posted.
I understand loosing the pully, but why'd they take your exhaust? Did they already take it? Cause i still have my entire stock exhaust setup if you wanna trade?
hypno: you mount the IC by drilling holes thorugh the top of the crash bar so that you can make the right size whole in the center secion to mount the IC through the bottom. Does that make sense?

thanks man, but i decided to donate the $600 to the needy rich japanese guy foundation, seemed like the right thing to do... 
. i shoulda told you earlier, i had my stock exhaust too, but the 600 was for the one part is was missin, the s pipe. no no your eyes are working fine, 600 for a stock s-pipe and install is correct, those guys at toyota rule 
.
since they dont sell parts i needed a new s/c kit and at 2800 thats alittle out of my price range right now. it was basically a drug deal, they said they'd "warrenty" it only if the exhuast was stock... which cost 600.

not to get off topic (good one), but hey phil, brandon, matt, and whoever else... i'm still having that annoying residual fuel build-up problem.. the one where you turn the key to the ON position and there's a loud boom with a small amount of smoke. then when you look under the hood, the vacuum line from the valve cover to the intake manifold is popped off at the intake manifold point. did you guys find a way to stop that? it only happens maybe 1 out of every 10 times i start the car, but it's annoying. any solutions? car isn't tuned yet; will be shortly

Your talking about the one in the back on the passenger side, not in the front on the driver side, right? I never touched mine, and it's not popped off.
I'm sure it will be fine once your tuned.
But I got a question for both of your, or any other TT guys watching this thread...you got any CEL? Mine came back again this morning. Not sure what it is, but last time it was cylinder misfires.
