Thanks Jim
Thank you guys. The car is adapting well, and the motor seems very strong so far. Doing allot of short trips here and there just to monitor the engine before I make long trips. I can't wait to drive her up to NY 
There is a Supra meet/ dyno day up here in Maryland, so I might take the car to the event and get it on the dyno. I think knowing what the RWHP is now before further mods is important.

wires connected to paddles should be connected to the module of the gear lever .. but I am only guessing.
then, obviously, you'll need a wheel with paddles or buttons
ps: about the intrument surround I was not talking of the white side, but the black one

Hey, that looks great 
I'll try the shifters later on for sure

hi, when you'll have the 55K gearbox, lever and modules, it shoul be possible, I guess

I had a look for you ... but, only to make more clear just the principle !
connections seem to work like this
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
so, your steering wheel with buttons/pad will have the module N135 inside.
and it must connect to the column block (N80) where you see the red arrow.
this is the inside of the wheel

column N80

the column is probably prewired with the gear shifter block N15/5
if it is not ... that's bad, I guess

.. you can't imagine what a nightmare it was
how long and how expensive it got
also because the first time I was cheated by a SOB from Lithuania a certain TOM or MINDAUGAS TAMOSIUNAS who formerly posted here under the name Exoticparts
unfortunately I discovered too late that he didn't deliver and had already stolen nice $$ to a lot of people in US and UK

Wow! That sucks big time. Dyno, I'm always amazed at the info you always have, on everything. Lol!
The steering column should be pre wired. If I go this route I will get the DTM steering wheel that I always wanted

thanks.

not for the wheel but for the cluster
..could make only the same carbon surround, not that special function it has with RPMs show instead of tempomat ..

... maybe in your case it would be too much carbon, as you have even the wheel in carbon

paddles do not fit properly in place of buttons (even if somebody did it).
about the lower dash, the Alcantara making is much harder work (as usual) than we thought .
my installer got immediately into problems when it came to remove the EIS (ignition key) that holds the lower dash in place .. LOL
but nothing in comparison to the carbon surround ..

Looks great Dyno. No more carbon for me though I might get rid idly steering wheel and do a DTM. I think the CLK 63 amg has the steering wheel that I want.

sorry if I am not with you here, but I don't see the DTM steering wheel to be in line and even the clkBS's to be well proportioned with our car...
