You're refering to the air flow meter. Whichever ecu you plan on running, use the corresponding afm. I have seen n/a afm's used with t2 efi..

the problem with the gsl-se is that the afm is too small in the first place, AND its electrically wierd, so you can put in a larger second gen one.



the problem is that the gsl-se afm is 100% open on an na at 4500rpm (this is with headers), and by 5500ish its too lean to keep running.



it would just be worse with a turbo.



you have 3 options



1. retrofit the fc/fd stock efi, its a lot of wiring



2. add a couple more injectors and a controller, this is a decent budget way to go, and you keep the stock efi driveability



3. go with a full aftermarket ecu, its really the best way but its expensive (relatively)

One advantage here is that you get the better FC ignition, also with a TII ECU you will get whatever timing correction the TII does for boost. With the GSL-SE distributor you have to find some other way to handle boost retard (maybe the advance diaphragms from a 12A turbo?)
