If you want a turbo in your car, you need a front clip (or everything off of a front clip) of a turbo. And you have to use everything off of the turbo front clip, meaning wiring harness, ECU, engine, ...... and so on.

Plus you want a T2 tranny if you you decide to go with a LOT of boost, N/A trannies can really hold out at about 250HP after that they break.

the big problem is a stock t2 turbo wont clear the manifold, and b you have high compression 9.7:1 vs 9:1, so the tuning has to be good
