It might start but will have major problems controlling the larger injectors you should have.
Wait till you find a turbo ecu to fire it up.
 
i am pretty sure the turbo ecu wasnt leakin b4 i tried it out on the conversion n plus it always worked for me but after than like a couple days lata i looked n saw a leakin capitaor and any got and good turbo ecu's

yes you can us an auto for a manual.

You can, but the ECU is looking for 390cc auto injectors instead of the manual 450cc's. Also, the fuel maps are different. It'll run, but not well.

I was not criticizing you, I was giving you a friendly warning asking you to follow the forum rules but obviously you did not take it seriously or you just don't care, so here is another. Please use proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation in your future posts.
