You dont really lose anything if done correctly. well.. maybe the trac control since nobody got it working yet..
The factory GS300 ecu is still in place for the misc controls like factory alarm, transponder, etc.
While the 2jz -gte ecu controls the motor & tranny

They would be WRONG. I have driven my GS with the 2JZ-GTE VVti for over a year and a half now and I love it. I have no problem without having traction controle. I use to bug me that it would always come back on when you turned the car off. There are a couple of other small things that are different but it isn't bad.
The car with the stock VVti ECU will not go over 113 mph without the HKS Speed cut remover
The cruse will not go over 65mph I don't know if the HKS unit will fix this or not.
The OBD2 does not work. I am working on this because this has to work for my car to pass emissions. The toyota diagnostic plug still works with my snap-on scanner.
The car is great it traps at 113mph on pump gas with stock turbos and my mom could get it and drive the car and besides the loud exhaust not know that the car dosn't have the correct motor in it.
