Pre-89 GTE ECU's will accept the connectors from a GE's wire harness (as mentioned before it needs to be rewired though and IMO it's not worth the trouble).

Nothing wrong with the distributor or VAFM on a GTE, that's how Toyota set up a number of their boosted engines... it's the ECU's fuel maps, the injectors and the timing maps that are the biggest concerns.
Thanks for the reply for a minute there I was beginning to think no body was going to be able to give me some answers

So your saying I should install a GTE ECU and wire harness?

Instead of replacing the wire harness and ECU could I get away with just buying a piggy back system?
It does make sense I should be worried about it running probably really lean

I should also put a walboro 255 fuel pump in just to be safe

How can I tell the difference between GE and GTE injector's?
