MK3 turbo! BUY OR NOT?

you89 · 05-10-2007, 06:11 PM

Hello, the good news is here- the owner is sure of the head gasket's okay, since he had it torqued down 2 yrs ago at the toyota dealership at 70lb/ft. Engine itself is okay.

The new components put in to make the car run are:
alternator
ECU
camshaft position sensor
crakshaft position sensor
new fuel pump relay
new fuel pump
new injectors (all 4)

NOW.. the car turns out to be the wiring harness, which was a mystery solved by the toyota dealership after expensive diagnosis labor of 10+ hrs.

I never heared a wiring harnes fraying out (or the insulation fraying out and shorting out together) on any supra forums yet. The wiring harness issue never comes up unless people are doing a 89+ ecu swap, auto to manual swap, or na+Turbo mod.

I can get the wiring harness- but I am concened if there is any "hidden" problems that caused the wiring harness to fry out itself.

I don't wanna pass up this oppertunity, but I am concerned if this is a BIG issue since I am not ready yet to do a stand-alone ECU (haltech, megasquirt..etc..) yet.

what to do...what..too..doo...

please help me out!!
