Hey Mike.

Get rid of that Starion intercooler! This NPR large is modified on the passenger side to help clearance the radiator. There are unused threaded brackets there in front of the radiator that you mount the cooler to. You can see it on one of the pictures. But you take the shrouds off, and this drops right in. You may have to relocate the dryer for the AC, but that is a simple task. I will include the shrouds I have. If you use em good, if not scrap em. Let me know if you want it. If you don't, someone else with a turbo 1g project can pick it up. I have a lot of time envoled making this thing bolt in. It is a nice cooler that is undamaged and it made 475 RWHP at 20 psi of boost on a low reading dyno. We made 485 at 22 psi, but I think that was it for the old NPR!

I beleive u can only get the large NPR intercooler out of the Heavy Duty NPR's as the regular NPR's have an intercooler half the size. (I found this out the hard way) Proven intercooler though a couple on MA70 supra guys have used it with good results. I used one for a while in my MA70 supra with a 2jz as it was easy for me to run the itercooler pipes.
