I would try and get the price down, or allow for a proper ecu like a Syvecs, and some mapping time. It will never be very good on that E-Manage. I would also want a LONG test drive including some town driving and some fast open road driving. If the buyer allows offer to pay for an independent rolling road run and mixture check, see if it's mapped safely and gives anywhere near the claimed power. Look at it on a ramp, walk if you have any major issues at all. If you don't know Supras get someone to look at it that does, and who won't be bothered if it sells or doesn't, ie, someone not thrutching to get it home and rag it about ;)

As Chris mentioned, the ECU is really not ideal but they do work if mapped by one of the few that really know the EMU's. Find out who built and mapped it first.

 

As above, also very very cheap so be extra careful considering 6 speed TT's go for that sum. :)

I'd be happy with an EMU, but EMB running those 850 injectors I'd be a bit more twitchy about. I only say that as I get on fine with the units and mapped my own (and it runs fine thanks Chris :p :D ). Unfortunately, with a.n.other tuners' map, unless it was Ryan G's, I'd be dead suspicious about the drivability and fuelling.

So how much are syvecs to buy and what would it cost to get fitted and mapped if this is the only fault it may be worth getting

The guy wanted 12k for it I got him down to 10k it's ment to be mint condition

 

Fitted, mapped and with all the worthwhile toys it will be around 3k. You won't see much change from that anyway.
