I have a 8 year NG contract, 6 active uniform, 2 IRR. I want to be 100% done and avoid IRR. If I go ING will that count as my 2 IRR years?

Yes, as an enlisted soldier, you can chose to go ING rather than IRR for a 6x2 contract. Here is a link.

I cannot say for Guard but you used to be able to serve your IRR time in the Reserves as a TPU.

Yes, specifically allowed under NGR 614-1

2-1. Soldiers authorized to transfer from active status to the ING
(8) As an alternative to serving in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) of the United States Army Reserve (USAR) in order to complete the second portion (two, four, or five years) of the 6x2, 4x4, or 3x5 enlistment option, or of another residual commitment to serve in the Ready Reserve of the Army, after an initial period of service on active status with ARNG. Soldiers must execute a DA Form 4836 for the remaining period.

This makes no sense at all. I don't believe ING works like that. You usually go ING during your drilling time in the Guard and those years you are ING will be added to the end of the your contract. In all honesty I think you may want to reconsider what your intent is on this. I still don't understand why still you would want to do ING over IRR.
