It's already running just shy of 400bhp from less than 1 bar of boost, will know more once I go to see it this sunday.

I have a Go-tech programmable ECU (a universal one, not 2JZ specific) which I am tempted to use. I think 400bhp would be good for a while, but you know what it's like - you get bored and want more! No more than 600bhp though.
No, the V160 is not shifted by the ecu, but the auto tranny is. Since I didn't know what you were starting with, an auto->6spd swap generally requires an ecu change because the ecu no longer shifts the transmission.

For 600bhp the oem 2jz-ecu Mkiv Supra Turbo ecu would work just fine.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
