Nope, muffler is not needed 
.
And I just got my FCON wiring harness in the mail today(TP-8 for pre-89 ECUs), then I opened the FCOn up, only to find that I have the wrong chip for what i will be using it for....I have the E105V chip (for use with VPC), but I need the E155 (for use w/out VPC).
So if anyone has the chip I need...LMK!!!

SUPA DORIFTO! thanks to the subframe cracks john now has an excuse why the threefiftyzed walked him off the line
So I haven't updated in a while...>_>
This is the latest....Last time I started the Supra, it was smoking a bit, and smelled like something was burning... Definitely smelled like oil.
I am thinking the turbo seals went, because apparently my car was smoking while driving (i never noticed it) and I had noticed some smoke coming out of the exhaust recently the last few times I warmed it up, etc...but I always thought it was just condensation, because it has been pretty cold lately... I guess I was wrong.
Well, I will update again once I get home on Sunday/Monday, and get a chance to pull the plugs to verify that the problem isn't somrthing more serious.

Okay, I have determined that the smoking is really only noticeable about a minute after startup...so I am pretty sure that my turbo seals are just leaking a bit. The smoke seems to go away once the car gets driven, though, only a faint smell of oil burning once everything is warmed up...so I don't think it's too big of a deal.
Now for the fun stuff!!!
I installed the F-CON last night, I didn't have the "correct" chip, but as it turns out the VPC chip will actually work without the VPC, if you tune the A/F with the F-CON's internal switch.
So I did a few WOT pulls with a motec wideband hooked up, and @ WOT/12.5psi, I had an A/F ratio of 12.1:1 :aigo:...
So after adjusting the F-CON, I got it to around 10.8:1 @ WOT... Much better.
The chip that ended up not working (the engine would flood ever time I tried to start it!)
Installed:
I also managed to get my hands onto a new bumper, it looks really straight, just needs to be painted!
On a side note, I also installed an UNGO alarm system!

Yea, i put that there...the dashboard just seemed to look so plain...like it needed something...you know?
And the little slots are for the interior temp. sensor.

Nice progress john.

Finished installing the UNGO alarm system!
Haha...it's a PowerBook G4 12"
Thanks for the comment! And yea, it was running far too lean, and if I had put my foot into it on a hot day for any length of time, I could have melted a piston.
Unfortunately, I can't afford it ATM.
