You'd need to swap several other items, including the ecu, ignitor, resistor pack, fuel pump ecu, driveshaft, and the primary wiring harness, just for it all to become functional. After all of that, the value would go up some, but it wouldn't be even halfway to TT's value, because the braking system (calipers, rotors, abs valving, abs ecu), suspension, rims, stereo, diff, etc. (and of course, the VIN) all still wouldn't be tt spec.

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.
