Yes, you'll need a new ecu (as I said above). An n/a ecu can not control a 2jz-gte.

Used TT ecus usually go for about $200 last time I checked. A brand-new harness from 'yota is about $800 or so. Honestly I wouldn't try to make a second-hand harness work - they're usually full of broken plastic connectors and sometimes other continuity problems. Just mho.
