INTERCOOLER KIT FROM EBAY

I saw this kit on ebay, I was wondering if it would work/fit with my 2nd gen 3sgte??? Like is all the piping the correct bends and stuff?

For the MR2 kit I would say no. Probably end up with a bunch of piping that can not be used. You would be better off buying the intercooler separate, then buy a pipe kit and quality couplings.

if you look at the ebay auction, it says for an ST205 GT-4 celica, not MR2

Statement still stands. I am sure some of the pipes will not work properly, kit says it covers 4th,5th and 6th gen cars.


The intercooler will be somewhat fine. Couplings are probably complete crap and the pipes are probably just a bunch of bends that you need to somehow play pipe dream with to make them all work.

thats exactly what they are.
IC itself is decent, piping is OK at best (no, it wont just all fit together. you WILL have to trim, and cut to fit)
couplers are junk.

That intercooler is HUGE! You would have to cut out your crash bar. I have about a 2.5"x27"x6" It fits perfectly. Those are guesstimated demensions. I used just-intercoolers on ebay. Spent $321 on all aluminum piping and intercooler shipped. I had all I needed and pleanty of leftovers. Just measure and guess what you will need for piping, order more than enough. Good luck!

Hey guys, appreciate the advice. I'll probably just do custom piping then. I thought this kit would be much easier but since the piping needs to be modified, then forget about it.
