were putting a turbo 2.0 motor out of an awd into a 1.8 n/t fwd car. my question is what all needs done and will the tranny work? ill tell you what i know and maby someone could tell me what i missed, or any info to help it would be appriciated. the trannys are both 5 spds well here goes,

wire harness
fuel pump
intercooler
ecu
exhaust
clutch (if tranny will work?)
dash instrument cluster

am i forgeting anything? i dont think the tranny will work, the motor is out of a 90 eagle talon tsi and going in a 91 laser n/t with a 1.8 5 speed. the motor is complete all the sensors, and everything. ill change the ecu, wireing harness, fuel pump, dash, big 2.5 exhaust, fuel pump rewire, i cant think of anything right now. anybody want to add anything?
 
the 1.8nt to 2.0 turbo swap is a very tough swap to pull off. you need to replace literally everything inside the car's engine bay. you'd be better off to replace the entire car with an awd turbo unless you can pick up a running fwd turbo dsm for really cheap that's been wrecked in the rear end or otherwise totalled.
