Any input here is appreciated....
I just purchased a very healthy 7MGTE today with a MHG already installed. Here are my plans after I get the engine in and running.
Stand alone ECU. This will go in WITH the engine and eliminate wiring difficulties with the MKII. Wiring to the engine on a stand will be the only challenge, and tuning

I won't need a boost controller or turbo timer with this set up. Save $$$
Exhaust. 3 inches all the way through, including DP, and no cats.
Spearco racing FMIC and IC piping to match. This will also go in with the engine(seeing that I got one for 400 bucks).
Intake. HKS SMF. Will also go in with the engine seeing that I already own it.
After all that, and it runs, (I *should* be able to push 10-15 PSI), and I save up another 600 bones, I will upgrade the turbo to the 60-1. And then I will be the old school MKIV BPU killer in Austin. Heh.
I will keep you all posted. Thanks
Brandon
PS Any suggestions on which ECU to go with?? If not, I've heard good things about the Haltech.
