Awesome!
Sucks you have to ship it to get it tuned, no other solutions that would work locally? Or does switching to something non squirt make the price of shipping look decent? Cool hes tuning it for free though.

Not many locally want to tune MS. The ones that will (like shane) i trust, however they may not be able to try and fix some of the bugs ive been dealing with like the signal noise issue. So thats why im shipping it to Jordan because he has dealt with that a lot, and his area of expertise is this exact application. I couldnt put it in anyone betters hands. Once thats all squared away, then local tuning becomes a much better option because youre not dealing with the bugs anymore.
I have thought about switching to say AEM but there is a cost there. But theres a cost to ship the car too. I thought about it and just decided to ship it. If for some reason he just cant get it to work right then i guess ill really be considering switching.

Wow, shipping across the country for tuning, very Ferrari-esque. :D

Just read through your build, and I must say very cool!! I barely see these cars anymore, but to see one with a turbo is awesome! Nice work.

Got to love noise and sync loss.. I've been fighting that in my Audi Coupe Quattro (MS3x) for a few months... I forget, what's the crank and cam signal setup on the 2jz?

24 - 1 setup (VR Sensors). There are actually 2 cam signals but I'm just using 1 since that's all MS3x has inputs for.

Another small update. Fresh tranny and diff fluid in. Also I ordered up some LED's, so the interior convenience lighting is all switched over to LED now. Ricer stuff!
Lastly, I played a bit with software filtering some more. I may be sitting better as far as that noise issue goes. If so then I won't be shipping the car. Time will tell though, I'm not holding my breath, but maybe I got lucky. I did get some estimates, and to ship the car is roughly $1k each way. That's a lot of dough, so if I do end up needing Jordan he said he'd be willing to fly up here. I'd pay for his ticket, but all in all it'd probably end up being half the price of shipping the car.
I also bought an Infinity Basslink to simplify things. I loved the one I had in the Talon, but in this car it just does not sound right. So I may have a basically brand new Basslink up for sale soon.

Basslink works well in open cabin cars (hatchbacks, SUV's, minivans etc). Have one in the sequoia and love it.
If you sell, let me know. I want my bro to put one in his minivan.

Bass link in minivan? Hahaha
I was gonna call dibs, but I'll get in line.
I hope the issue is solved, let me know if you want some help tuning.
