JT, get a new air filter if it needs it, do get a new fuel filter, spray the afm with carby cleaner to fix your fuel usage issue, oil change with new genuine toyota filter. Can remember if the guy you bought it off said he had the coolant done recently but i would change it over anyway so you know whats up with it. Also my be worth while doing your trans fluid. Thats pretty much it i reckon, just have a look under the car for any worn out bushes and nuts that need tightening and in the engine bay for any oil, cracked vaccum hoses etc.

Yeah dude before the dyno run get that craby cleaner into the afm or come to my place as i have some. Then reset the ecu by pulling out two fuses for 5-10mins and see what fuel usage you get. Should solve most of your problems aswell as a new air filter if the current one is stuffed. Let me know when you go to boostworx as i dont live too far from there, keen to see what it makes for a stock standard car and see what fixtures you were getting.
