Based on all the information you've given us, we'll assume you're using a widebody camry V6.

Plenty of kits on the market these days that will give you everything you need to do this i do remember reading somehwere that the ecu can be left if running small figures like around 5 psi but there are plenty of options for ecu out there.

Why?? just want the cool sounds of a blow off valve :lol:
arent you building a tuff truck style car?/
Just a whole lot more hassle for really not that much gain. I would want to keep the truck simple and light. Some horsepower is good but you dont need that much for TT.

My injectors didn't cop 5psi. Idled fibe but broke down badly at revs and even worse under load. I used 4cyl Magna inj's.
You can retune the memcal with the right gear. But that's not live tuning. I can't remember the name but there is a live tuning replacement for the memcal

dont use a standard 3.8 for this, at least get a supercharged model with stronger internals.

X2

& make sure the blower is still attached :finger:

I've gone away from the twin turbo setup and am now playing with
a blower .... Much more fun, more torque, & far easier on the $$$
