I really havn't even started to mod the car yet. I'm having problems with the ECU when i goto upgrade to a single. Ive personally seen problems with emanage ulitamate on a 1JZ, timing advance is like 3* no matter what ecu setting. A single turbo 1JZ mk3 made 20 more rwhp then me on stock boost and they were in the 18psi range with one.
AEM wont warrentee a custom install'd ecu. The only proven system, FconVpro, no one in FL tunes them or has the unlock to do so (that i know of so far). Haltech is old technology but works, maybe microtech?

Its going to suck taking mine back apart again so i can have the inside plastic chromed.

I need overdrive. TCI makes a great TH700r4 that is tested for 600+hp all day use for 2k, but even a stock mild upgraded 700r4 will handle the occassional pass at the track without issue.

I get all my JDM parts from J Hot Imports in Augusta, GA. They are not a middle man, their parts come directly from their recycling plant in Japan.
