Hello there, Can someone confirm if the "202" TRD 3point strut brace fits the 205? part number is 53607-ST001. From pics it looks like if you have ditched the charge cooler it should be ok. However I came across an old post from 2004 saying it had tobe chopped up to fit, can't work out why lol. Cheers |

I have some vague recollection about some braces not fitting due to the throttle body being in the way. Don't know if that applies to the TRD one you mention. |

Might fit if you go for a side feed manifold, otherwise the FMIC pipework will foul - assuming it misses the throttle body that is. The normal 'bent' versions used on the 4 are a waste of time, more flex than a rubber band. IMO the standard one cross-bracing to the bulkhead is about as good as it gets. |

Answer to original question is NO it wont fit. Mainly because the charge cooler is in the way on the ST205. Pic above may be of 202 trd brace on a 205 but note there is no charge cooler - its been converted to a front mount. |

Thanks for the pic Johny, from the other pictures I saw on 202's it looked like it would foul on the throttle body. I'm on fmic so happy days. |
