I don't have a supra but a dsm turbo. I figured most anyone here could answer this. I got in a little wreck and my intercooler got damaged. It idles real bad so I'm thinkking this. I was wondering if I could drive about 15 miles in this condition shifting at like 3k rpms. I know ideally i should replace the ic as soon as I can but I may need to move the car from one location to another. Thanks for any help.

I would think it would be fine

numerous turbocharged cars have come non-intercooled

some Z31s and old Volvos come to mind. It should be fine if you don't boost very much.

Are you asking whether it is alright to drive with a massive leak in your intercooler or are you gunna physically remove the intercooler?

I know that DSM intercoolers are such a restriction that removing them actually gives you power despite the lack of air cooling.

It sounds like you might have a pretty bad leak in the intercooler. I don't think it'll hurt anything to move it, but be careful about running it hard. If the hole gets too big, it might become immovable.

Dont run high boost untill you get it fixed.
