Depends what EMS your using - stock ECU ... probably not.

Different EMS with appropriate map sensor in place yes
Small turbos - they're not big and they're not clever!

Just say NO to small turbos!

I really wouldnt bother fella. Ask a friendly mr2 owner tounplug there AFM and try starting their car. You have a ££££ engine there, dont mess about trying the initial start up fella :)

Thats just my 2p's worth

cheers fellas, just one more thing! thor said they are gonna use the gltd that they have coming in next week to do a very basic setup on my link ecu, they say this will fire up my engine for someone with some tuning ability to then make it drivable so i can run her in, does this sound plausable fellas! i mean a G ltd, i said r u sure that it will work, he said, yes, so im running with the idea but still a bit aprehensive! :?
