this is going to be a problem , im not even sure if the NEO triptronic is going to work AT ALL without ECU let alone having proper gear changes and retard. I know they dont work with manual powerfc's .
if your serious about going down this path i would think about the 2jz non turbo . there are great results just slapping a turbo onto it (they are super tough engines) , they are very cheap , their intake/exhaust is the same sides as the ford and their auto gearboxes are much easier to work with with aftermarket ecus
