In addition to what I already posted above, I can tell you the following two points about that intercooler:
1) It's no thicker than an HKS S-Type. Which means to me that it is not a good spec for 850hp. For 850hp, you need something the same size as an HKS R-Type, or a GReddy 4-row.
2) I've never heard of this brand of intercooler before, so I consider it an off-brand. Many off-brands have no idea how to build things for the Mkiv Supra Turbo, because not many engines can take 35psi of boost. For example, if a company that normally builds intercoolers for v8s running 8psi of boost, and they try to use that same design on an Mkiv Supra Turbo, the intercooler will probably fail.

Just my opinion.

Displacement is no replacement for boost.
Life begins at 30psi.

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.
