Wondering what all I would need to do a swap from a 2.0 non turbo to a 2.0 turbo. I have a 1gen 93 eclipse I have a turbo engine on the way with a full turbo set up. And a set of 450 cc injectors would I need a tune to or can I just swap the ecu to a 93 turbo ecu only plan on running like 14 psi.

If your getting a stock turbo engine with stock turbo and stock injectors then of course you can run a stock ecu (same ecu as engine/driveline so must be a turbo manual ecu or turbo auto ecu depending on which you have.) your going to have to get a wiring harness too I think?
 
Im sticking with the 93 7 bolt engine so I shouldn't need a harness right? I should be able to just hook up the ecu. U would think anyway

look about half way down the page for this part

ECU and Wiring Harness:
Here is the 1g turbo ECU Color Coded Pinouts, this is invaluable when working with the engine wiring harness: http://www.dsmtalk.com/gallery/data/...2_Model_1_.jpg

You will need the turbo ECU. Simple as that.

You can either obtain a stock 1g turbo engine wiring harness or modify your factory Non/Turbo harness by adding the following wires:

7th wire from MAS - the 7th wire from the mas needs to be run back to ECU pin #6. This wire is for the stock boost gauge (which is worthless anyways) so you can skip this step and use the stock N/T MAS, especially if you are keeping the N/T gauge cluster (as it doesn't even have the boost gauge. Either way, make sure you buy a real boost gauge.

Knock Sensor - One wire can be grounded to the engine bay somehow, the other white wire needs to be run back to ECU pin #9.

Wastegate Solenoid - One wire here will be grounded, the other returns to the ECU pin #105. Or you can switch to a Manual Boost controller (MBC), in which case this solenoid will be unnecessary.

Injector Resistor Pack - Here is a tech article written by TimG on how to wire the Fuel Injector Resistor Pack into a non-turbo harness: Injector Resistor Pack Wiring (1G N/T -> Turbo Conversion)

Here are the factory ECU prints. The highlighted ones need added, and the model is in the upper corner so you don't get confused.
