Everything is looking good brother. I'm so glad I bought my car already done though.

You may not need power steering but damn its nice to have. There are kits to move the reservoir to the strut tower. Thats what I have. Mine is keeping a/c and everything. I love the way this car feels with power and luxury.

It's not the reservoir that I'm hitting. It's the pulley and pump itself. I will redesign it no big deal. Gotta do it before you know your mistakes. Dah well no big deal.

It cost 600 to make one. I'm actually making one for a guy on supra forum different design tho. It will come out better than this one.

Just brought a AEM ems. Pretty excited. Probably will be selling the 97 Tt Ecu and other things. Can I use the factory Toyota pressure sensor?

It depends on how much boost you plan on running, the tt map will max out 5V at a certain psi, not sure what on the aem but should be good for 18 psi ballpark. over that range you want to have the aem 3.5 bar sensor or at least the gm 3 bar would give you much more room for boost, there is a basemap for all 3 sensors If I remember right.

If the TT ecu doesn't sell I think I will put it on after i check that the AEM is in working order. I just didn't want to run a piggyback. Now I have both I don't know what I am going to do.

Good buy on the aem v1, that's the cheapest I've seen sold for.

I was planning on putting that TT ecu in my car but I didn't wanna crack the motor open to put the TT hg in. I wanted to run 215k motor unopened and see how much power I can make for how long on e85. I have gotten a few PM about if it would work with the obd 2 sc300 and I don't know if anyone has tried it yet. If someone has can you please comment please. I don't see why it wouldn't work or else I wouldn't have brought all the parts but I guess you will never know for sure until it has been done.
