    JDM ecu different from USDM?

    The problem could be the seat of the pants feel. A 7MGTE without a working turbo, aka, before boost, is not a powerful engine. Your compression indicates decent engine health, and I would not think that engine timing is off, but it wouldn't hurt to check it anyway. How does the idle act.

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Uhmm, Taliban? Do you even know who the Taliban is? Anyway, there are many 7MGE Cressida's if you didn't notice. Problem is, they are still on the road. They never die if you don't destroy them. You might be able to find a crashed one.

    w58 tranny problems

    When you push in the clutch pedal, you are diengaging the clutch. To engage the clutch, you release the pedal. I say this because I want to be sure when your problem happens. If you get vibration when letting the pedal out, you likely have a bad disc.

    Things don't have costs, decisions do. It isn't worth the money to me.

    JDM ecu different from USDM?

    While there is no worthwhile power gain, they are a little different. Get your car fixed.

    7MGTE strange A/C symptom

    If it cools down after being shut off a while, it is probably icing up. You could have a very small leak and it is drawing in moisture.

    Buy that GT35R blown Ford GT from "Joe". Then you won't have to deal with your cars problems.

    Is the GT3540R turbo worth the money?

    I would think you can buy just the pump, and not the full kit. That being the case, get the pump from a Mustang or Camaro vendor, instead of ebay. It will probably not be a knock off.

    Newer Toyota's don't require this song and dance to find TDC. The lower timing pulley is notched with a mark just like the cams.

    Cold Start Drivability/ Hesitation and backfire

    You are low on coolant, that is why the light comes on. The resevoir fills up as the heat in the engine expands the coolant. A compression check wouldn't hurt based on your symptoms. An easier way is to check vacuum with a guage while it is cold and then warm. You don't have to pull the...

    4.30 vs. 3.73 Gas Milage?

    Tongue tied equates keyboard tied? W58 trans and 3.73 rear end. The reason I have been giving out that formula, the same one that site uses so you can plug in anything you want. Some sites only use drop down tables. Just think, with my A340E and 3.73 I am at about 2400 RPM indicated at 70.

    Auto & 5spd wastegate actuators...

    The automatic will not make as much "boost" as a manual in stock form. The torque converter is a fluid coupling, and as such, has slippage. So yes, the automatic car will not be loaded as much.
