small update, i got ST205 cables and installed them, i also installed a TWM short shifter. im still waiting for a PS bracket from an MR2 guy.

thats an NA MR2 gauge, and just because the sweep is the same, its all about the signal that the gauge is receiving. a V6 is going to put out a different pulse over an I4
i had another slight hang up, i discovered that the AT and MT 1MZ have different rear headers, the AT that came with my engine has the header pointing right into where the shifter cables go for the E153. i ordered a MT header and i should get it monday. once i get the header i can complete the EGR tube. once thats done then it goes back in the car.

ok small update, i ended up getting both front and rear headers from a 5 speed solara. because im trying to smog this car, i need to comply with how the solara is. luckily it only has 1 CAT after the Y pipe so im getting all those parts now. the AC lines have been fabbed up. The Solara and the Celica use the same AC compressor but you have to either change the top section where the lines attach to it, or change the pulley. I elected to swap the top sections. i just welded -8 AN fittings on the spots where the hoses attach and made my own lines.
