If only you guys didn't live so far from me.
We have a large portion of our business from customers who ship their cars to us from all over the US, or take the drive down to us.

Our next project mr2 spyder that arrived will be shipped to Dubai when we are done :D

Compare this TK.com T28 billet wheel turbo vs a GT2560R(GT28R), will i get better spooling and/or better power? :eek::
The GT 2560R is not a GT28R. Garret makes 10 variations of the GT28 series.
Here is a comp map for the GT 2560R

Compare to a GT2871R (our favorite 1.8L 200-350 hp turbo)

You can see a dramatic difference between the two turbo's
 
What rims have you got?
I like them

Hi so if my power goals are between 250~300bhp with good spool, Is GT2560R a good turbo for it?
250 wheel horsepower is at the limit of the gt2560's efficiency island. 300 wheel horsepower is out of the normal reach of the gt2560.

You would want a larger GT28 series turbocharger. The GT2860rs (disco potato) which is a small gt28 would be best for that power goal.

The GT2560 is on the smaller side of the T28 spectrum. Our current Billet T28 is in like a GT28RS+ and our new billet wheel design (been working on it for the last year) will be between a GT28RS and GT2871R (1).

Alonzo brought the car back to ditch the AEM FIC and to use the apexi PFC.

We have a custom harness for automatic celica's that lets us run the apexi pfc for full tuning control, and lets the stock ecu run the automatic trans logic.

Alonzo is the first that we know of to run the apexi PFC and his automatic GT.

The PFC is a leap forward compared to the FIC. We have full VVT control, as well as idle control, injector control, ignition control, cold & hot start control, and cold / hot coolant/air temp fuel compensation.

Here's his final power pull dyno plot compared to his old FIC plot:

Notice the drastically improved low end torque/hp and spool over the FIC. It's double the torque and nearly double the horsepower at 3,500 rpms.

Next up is fabricating the double ECU box to house the two ECU's.
