Thanks!
I've never heard of an HKS side-mount intercooler designed specifically for the Mkiv Supra Turbo. At one time, GReddy made an all-aluminum side mount kit, and it came with all of the piping.

Regardless, if you replace the oem rubber-like and plastic intercooler piping with (preferrably) aluminum piping that follows the same path, you won't need to re-tune at all. I'd recommend against steel piping because it's too heavy, and you don't need steel pipe to hold <40psi of air pressure. Be sure to use silicone couplings and t-bolt clamps.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
