sounds f***ing stupid but is that possible...has any one done it before(probably not)...is it easy as i think it is...just put in the stock ge headers on and plug up the extra oil lines and poof car runs? is the motor or car going to run different...i know it sound ridiculous but need to get supra up running so it doesn't get towed away...really don't want to but wife complaining...i have a 87 5speed turbo t-top supra and another 87 supra N/A that i just picked up recently(for parts only)...need help ASAP

I come from a land down under
It will run fine just think of it as a GTE that never makes boost ;)
(might be a bit noisy though if you leave the GTE exhaust on it as the Turbo pulls quite a few Db out of it)

Someone else would know better than i would about this but;

Would you also benefit if you re-routed the intake piping to eliminate the Intercooler, just go filter, afm, then pipe to throttle body?
