wicked its worked here she is
,, arrives tomorrowRe: newbie
Very nice. Looks like you have a few goodies on her.
I use Millers Fully Synth 10w 40 and for the filter go for one of the genuine toyota ones
Because it's a tubby and if your not sure when the last servicable parts were changed then it wouldn't harm to get a new dizzy and rotor arm along with some spark plugs. I've got the ngk grade 7 colder spark plugs which are always recommended if the car has been slightly tuned/ boost increased.

for the dizzy cap and rotor arm try camskill, i found them the cheapest so far. For the oil the only failry priced place is rallye design but the do charge ridiculous carriage fee of £10! I couldn't find it anywhere else though.

No prob. Just make sure you get the fully synthetic. Some people do run the semi synthetic on here but you need to change the oil more often (every 3k or so). Generally with fully synthetic (this i my opinion and people have many different views on this! 
) i would say you should change it around the 6-8k mark along with a filter change.

Re: newbie
The boost controller, you may be able to work out yourself but if in doubt i would try and get it done by someone who may have more of an idea (not saying you don't of course!)
Was the boost controller hidden by any chance? As i've heard some of the Japs hide mods and trick bits before they put them into the auction to try and get the higest grade possible
