Front mount intercoolers
« on: 17 November 2012, 15:57 »
Hi peeps.
  I started to fit a toyosports front mount intercooler today started to take the factory fitted one out and found it has a plug that goes inyo the top of it. The new intercooler doesnt have anywhere to fix this plug to. Does actually need to stay attacthed and whats it for. And if anybody has a fitting plan for a toyosport intercooler i would b very greatful cheers.

Don't make silly comments dude.

You can't just 'map out' the map sensor.

My bad mate, what I pictured is needed, but I'm sure I see some of the eBay kits that have the map sensor pipe with it. What size ic pipe work you running??

You can buy a flange but will have to get it welded to the pipe you have (about £18 from USA)
