Well, I made pretty good progress. I have made the mounts for the intercooler. I did not think I would get this thing to fit. I know the bumper will have to be modified, but I am happy I was able to do a front-mount intercooler instead of the above the engine like on the 4agze.
I have also test fitted the turbo, Because I wanted to keep as much of the original parts under the hood, I had to mount the turbo some what high. I will have to put a 2 inch-bulge in the hood to clear the turbo.
The next thing will be the intake plumbing and the down pipe.
As this project comes together, I see there will be adjustments that need to be made. Example: I am not sure the radiator fan will fit. I may have to use smaller or flatter unit.
