You can use either the 2nd or 3rd gen engines with the right modifications. The most popular is using a 2nd gen Turbo engine. There are quite a few people here that have T2 conversions.

Theres a thread on the commie board "click here" that will supply all the info you should need. Do a lot of reading. This will save you a lot of time posting questions. We could create our own FAQ thread on T2 swaps but why re-invent the wheel?

Get reading.

Yes that thread has good info. There is also a mailing list for this, search on yahoogroups for "turbofb". Their home page is www.turbofb.com. A good resource.
