And ignore the blue crap. It’s just for testing. The final piece from the turbo to the throttle body will be different.

if it helped at all I'd be happy to get the team at Eurocharged to dyno my 80 - likely could get it in next week as they're right down the street. They have a 4 wheel dyno and are great to work with...
And I'm up for getting spot on the second run ( or whenever possible) and having them run it again w/ Turbo etc......

CAD designed downpipe.... This keeps getting better and better!
Seriously though. Making me want to get a second 80.

I’ve got about 3.5” to my outboard pipe... Yes this is my 91 and yes I’m giving you a hint that I want a 3FE turbo kit.

Ok so don’t judge because it’s just crap laying around to get where we needed to go but the intake routing is figured out AND it allows you to run the York OBA, dual batteries, stock or Landtank MAF, stock manifolds and stock air canister. And it’s damn near 100% bolt on. I have a could little brackets to make for the AC line but it’s good to go!
YUMMY!
Looks good. Not buying it if there’s no intercooler. Just sayin’.
There might be enough room there for one of those air to water intercoolers...

Then you don't want your AC? I definitely agree that having an intercooler makes the most of a turbos power capability, but I very seriously doubt that would work out as a front mount intercooler. Even if you find room to put it there I think it would be easy to overwhelm your cooling system from not being able to shed the additional heat you're dumping in front of it.
In my opinion an intercooler would be a DIY thing and very cheap to add yourself.
Too hot in TX to not cool that inlet air. That was always a design flaw of the SC.Guess you’re not buying
IC isn’t part of the kit. Never was.

Order a front mount intercooler from Australia...those guys use them all the time for turbo diesels. Might need a little fab work but it would meet your needs
So how much will this kit cost?? I scimmed the thread and didn’t really see much. Any idea?
Need a pump and reservoir. Admittedly I’m a little bummed. I somehow missed the IC was out. I thought it was going to be an option.

Option up, baby! Today’s plan is a Robbie rebuild and a WitsEnd turbo with an intercooler. I already contacted Boomslang about a Haltech harness. I know that’s not part of your plan, but I just don’t think 5 psi will do it for me long term.Option sure, part of the turbo kit, no
I have a SC’d Tacoma that is way beyond the TRD SC with smaller pulleys, headers, hi-flow cats, etc. had a coworker ask me what I was going to do with more horsepower...

Well part of the problem is that I started the thread and Joey actually took the ball and ran with it. So the idea of an intercooler was definitely kicked around and the parts were even talked about, but ultimately the production decision falls in Joey's lap and I am not sure if you have actually looked at the pictures posted above, but to satisfy EVERYONE trying to make it fit with:
Snorkel
Stock Air Box
Dual Batteries
Air compressor
Stock MAF
Landtank MAF
etc
There just is not the room available to fit the IC where we talked about. Sure if you wanted to move the turbo and make it so one of the above components wouldn't work you could fit an IC but people have already paid and been using them so it is kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't.
There still might be an IC add on but to satisfy EVERYONE and their budget it just became overly complicated.

But it looks like it will interfere with coilovers
