Turbo from TSI to be put on ESI

[ChumpGoFast]

I need help
I have a 95 talon esi and I want to go turbo. I have just come in contact with a turbo from a 97 TSI w/ a reasonable amount of miles on it. I was told that it might work but I am not sure. I am going to get the hole turbo kit for $100. Is it worth even thinking about. Will the exhaust manifold even bold onto my Block?

Yeah. The manifold bolts right up. The two seperate engines were designed in two seperate decades and Chryslers first thing they wanted was to have the same exhaust manifold stud shape as the Mitsu 4G63. Why not do a search, there are a kajillion posts on this.

i hope your being carcastic. the manifold WILL NOT bolt up. the motors and manifolds are built comletely differently. take it from someone that has actuaaly done the research on the topic. the best way to turbo the nonturbo 2g is to either buy a kit. hahn or star. i picked hahn. ya its expensive but trust me its worth it. i reccomend building your bottom end too. im in the process of getting a howell bottom end kit now that i have the turbo kit on my car. good luck with whatever you do
