ok iam buying a 91 or 92 talon non turbo and my buddy tells me its easy to turn into a fwd turbo. i know i need the ECU,injecters, fule pump,turbo manifold,and down pipe but what else do i need to do the swap and is it really hard to do? or am i better off buying a turbo engine?
 
ok i searched this but im not getting the answer im looking for, i know how to go about making thr 1g n/t to a fwd turbo but what im wanting to know is it going to be hard to do? or should i just buy a 1g turbo engine, and if i do what else do i need to do to make it work?
 
Easiest thing to do would be to buy a turbo car to start with. Especially if you haven't already bought a n/t car. You will probably end up with more money in a n/t conversion than you would getting a factory turbo car not to mention the time and effort of the install and making it run right. IMO, if you already have a n/t DSM stick a for sale sign on it and start looking. Too many good deals on easily available and plentiful factory turbo cars to mess with a conversion.
 
OK thanks, i only got the car for 300 with a bad tranny so im going to try and sell it and get a awd thanks for the help
