Of course a fuel controller would be needed to stop detonation from even the stock boost. But if the other questions above are both correct then that could be an alternative to the Lexus Afm.... and save mad tuning for the bov venting normally required on the gte ecu? And this should able to be achieved with a simple piggyback system right?

Oh and I bet if u open the glove box area you will see where the previous owner had the fuel controller hooked up!
To be honest with you when I noticed the distributor and I asked why that was on there he explained to me then it had a GE ECU and wire harness I was shocked to say the least. Then I asked why? He said he accidentally threw away the coil packs to the 7MGTE so he had to go this s route.......It was an older guy mid 40's he buy's builds and sells mainly muscle car's......The guy is really good with engines so his downfall was probably the "I can do anything syndrome" and I must say although this is not what I would have even considered doing the guy did a great job with what he had.....It's not a hack job the wires are not hanging and cut everywhere and it surprisingly runs good idles smooth. I don't drive it because I think it's a ticking time bomb but for 1500 I basically stole a turbo supra with an engine with only 34K miles......Plus I'm only the 3rd owner and he provided a folder of the car with pictures over the years and every single receipt from any repairs and basic maintenance done to the car from 1993 when he bought it to now including every oil change, brake job, and tire replacement.
