    How much space is there between the dash and the A/C piping? 1"? 2" I want to install a USB-C up there, but haven't taken everything apart to see how deep it can extend into the dash before hitting the piping.

    Maybe a pinch over 1". There is some space to the left of the air duct, though, for more room for something like a USB-C outlet.

    I like turbos

    They make them for the 3rz. Would be clean to incorporate a air/water cooler into it also. I need as much low end torque as I can get so I'm not particularly interested in them.

    Very handy, and able to change the mounts as needs changed. 100% agree a support backing via washers or plate.

    Zanes air to water IC is super tidy I think. Probably the way to go honestly.

    I thought about air to water. Ended up with a bottom mount IC instead.

    I'd like to redo mine with a straight through instead of a 90* to shorten the intake more but for now it's good enough.

    I get that. I've got a pretty long run on the intake. One day. Just trying to establish reliable boost for now.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I tried every which way to fit a air to air IC or a larger heat exchanger, just not a lot of room on the early front ends. I like your piping though, keeps it out of the way.

    Yep. "Surfside Green Mica", available only in '98 and '99 model years.

    The TRD stickers are cheap junk applied by a previous owner though.

    @eimkeith - Did you ever get a chance to install your fuel tank lift on a double cab?
