the brackets look to be custom from what i can see. the top one is just a long flat piece and the other is an L bend. The L bend looks like it bolts through an existing hole that is covered by a black plug. you can see it in the second picture. the top mount to the body looks like that one needs to be drilled through and either a nut needs to be welded to the underside or they drilled through and put a nut in the engine bay and hooked it up that way. for the bov, are you using a stock supra tt bov or an aftermarket one? if it is aftermarket, go to a muffler shop and tell the piping size you need and bring them the flange and tell them to weld it on. then you can drill/dremel out the hold in the center of the flange. if your going to use a stock one then i would just try to find the piping/flange from a tt memeber on supraforums.

Does the hotside inlet run into anything? Mine did and I had to move it back a little and cut pieces off that black plastic piece.

Does anyone else here have NA-T SMIC piping experience? Here's my dilemma:

I need some "temporary" solution to get me to the shop that will be finishing and tuning the car. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of going to Home Depot and/or Lowes to see if they can help.

Success! I just hope the rubber coupler connecting the turbo compressor outlet pipe does not melt on the way to the shop tomorrow! :fingersx:

Ok I have a smic as well. I trying to decide whether or not to buy the stock piping. Would it be better to buy the stock piping then have my shop custom make pieces to make it fit, or just have them make custom piping for the whole thing, and not even bother with the stock piping.

[dejacky]

It's usually cheaper to use as much as the stock smic piping as possible. If you can wait a few days, I will have a list with pictures and manual part numbers of the stock piping + custom piping...thus showing the best price/performance combo of stock piping + custom pipe(s).
