I've gotta thank two people so far for putting up with my "noobness." I've had a lot of questions over the last week and both have been quick to respond, not to mention their build threads are VERY useful. Dustin and Albert have been a great resource so far, only one is a member here, but figured I'd give some credit where it is due.
Well so far I've decided to make my own harness and stick with ProEFI 128 and run a 1ZZ coil setup. Making my own harness may seem a bit overboard, but it will clean the bay up a LOT as the factory loom runs around the back-top-side of the engine and looks hideous in my opinion. I'm going to steal him and a friend of his idea and drill a hole on the trans tunnel/firewall bend to run the harness through. This may seem like a bad spot, but I've recently learned of a "TEFZEL" wire that is Mil-spec and is very resilient to burning/corroding, etc.
I've also talked to a few people about getting the head ported, my valve stem seals are definitely on their way out, so I may end up pulling the head to do those. I figured I might as well make the trouble worth it if I pull the head. At a minimum I'm going to have the head slightly decked and throw on a new head gasket and hardware to ease my worries of blowing a head gasket at high boost. I feel like a 7M owner now :dumb:.
This is his engine bay on his 2JZ, he recently joined CR and I stole this picture from his signature on SupraMania, although I'm sure he wouldn't mind sharing it. Shows how much of the bay is cleaned up without running the harness across the bay. I'm also debating deleting my ABS module like he did. Seems like more work than I want to do, which is ironic since this build is going to be a lot of work..

Also gonna end up replacing the leaky P/S pump and possibly doing the rack and pinion as well as looking into putting Air Conditioning back in it. Seem's a little backwards but it's always nice to have A/C since I plan on driving this a lot once it is done.
I normally hate being "all talk" but work and school have me tied up big time right now :fuuuu:, so no progression photo's will arrive until I get done with this semester and get a month or so off. I've almost got all the funds together to pay for my turbo, so getting that in will provide another big post filled with pictures and other fun specs to add in. Here's a little teaser photo of what it will look like...
