Update today
I have been busy, but today I'm working on it. I drove the truck around today. With the Stand alone. I need to install the idle control stepper circuit now. (MATT) Be looking for my email. I just haven't physically added the components to the board yet.
I have tried several different types of firmware, but have found that the ms extra 2.1 works the best. I say because the B&G original code I had trouble with the trigger inputs. I'll get with Matt on this. I wanted to use the original B&G code because I can do a MAF input and use the factory MAF sensor and add a map sensor and blend for speed density/maf and ultimate resolution. If I can get this version to use the MAF, then i'm kickin arse.
I am satisfied now! Just need to work on the o2 heater circuit, make sure that will rock and roll, and then I'll start looking at the 93-97 Land cruisers.
I'm still going to say, the post 96' models use the MAP ECU2 piggy back, and still pass emissions etc. Pre-96 you can actually replace the computer and still pass emissions because the CEL will work and calibrated properly it will pass a sniffer test.
Most of the instructions are on the DIY website, so far I haven't done anything special aside from the school of hard knocks on input circuitry, scoping and measuring. Hopefully it will save someone on here some time if they go this route. I can just forward some settings and possibly a start up map onward.
