But if i get a parts list now i can fab. all the parts at my high schools welding shop.
Ok. like I said swapping the turbo is alot harder than you think. The thing is that, the way the n/a Intake manifolds are made, it doesnt allow much room for the turbo. Some people have done it and they work greak but they have to mod the fenderwells and what not. In order to make it work. you would need a turboII lower intake manifold and upper intake manifold. But its not as easy as it sounds. The turbo II is 4 ports and the 86-91 n/a are 6 ports. That means caping of the 2 extra ports and them having the ports on the intake manifold line up with the ports on the engine. But that is one way of doing it. I can show you another way.
