August 3, 200619 yr Which way are you swapping? If turbo into carb chassis, it is far more complicated. Starting at the back and moving forward: Swap Fuel pump, swap fuel lines (FI is higher pressure and requires a high-volume return line), ECU, wiring, engine w/exhaust up- and down-pipes, engine crossmember. If you are planning on using the turbo's tranny you swill also need its axles. Probably a few other things that I have missed.
August 3, 200619 yr Aren't turbo difs a different ratio from a N/A dif? If manual, yes. If auto, I don't think so (?). However, the author of this thread doesn't mention switching trannies. The difference is in the tranny.
