Ok if I am correct the 3sgte has a top mount intercooler, hence the gt-4 hood having the center vent. Now I am saving for the 3sgte swap, and purchasing my body kit soon. I want teh erebuni z glide. Now, will i have a problem with the intercooler needing air? So my real question is, how much and where can i purchase the gt-4 hood that doesnt need the bumper to not have the gap? Or can I keep my stock hood and not even worry about it. I guess my three options are:
1) z glide and gt-4 hood
2) gt-4 hood and bumper (hella $$)
3) Just z glide kit (im hoping this will work, if not, how hard is it to make the tmic a fmic?)

Actually -
the 6th Gen GT4 has a W/A top mount intercooler, and becasue of that the 6th gen GT4 hood actually has exhaust vents and not a scoop to force air over the intercooler...
So... if you plan on buying a 2nd gen 3SGTE with a top mounted A/A intercooler you will need to either fasion a proper scoop to force air over it, or break down and get a FMIC, unless of course you get your hands on a W/A intercooler.
If your cash strapped you can run low boost (6-8 psi) without an intercooler until you sort that potentially $$$ problem out.

New Toyota project coming soon...
omg!... lol thats friggin expensive. I guess I need to do a little more researchin' and see what i come up with. thanks alot for the imput tho guys.
you can get the hood right from your toyota dealer... thats where i got mine!
the hood vent sits over the exhaust manifold. it is ment to let the hot air vent out of your car (this would be all the extra hot air caused by the 3sgte turbo).
the 6th gen gt4 comes with a top mount water to air intercooler. thets why there is no scoop on the gt4 hood.
