Ok my other thread on BUILDING A 2.4L has many different opinions...Here's another...I got a 91 eclipse gsx n/t with only 87k for $1400...I know they are rare...so I am wanting to convert it to turbo...I have 92 tsi manual cams...all the intercooler piping and turbo TB...basically I have everything to bolt it up, what else do I need.

Heres what I plan on doing but I dont know it it can be done.

Put turbo pistons on the stock block
put 2g exhaust manifold and s16g turbo
put the 92 tsi manual cams.
ss oil feed line
drill tap oil pan
550cc injectors
install ic and piping and TB...
210lph pump
2g mas

What do I need to make the bigger injector work?
Do I need a turbo FPR? or can I keep the higher psi stock one?
Can I just swap a turbo manual ecu or are the pins different from n/t to turbo?
 
By the way, the car is manual already.....

And Here's another brain teaser...

lets say on a awd platform with a rear LSD....does someone make a LSD insert for the front tires on a awd??? I dont want to bother doing that but I was reading a post where some guy wanted to do that but wouldnt it be pointless????

And is there a product to make the cars have 50/50 traction??? I heard that a while ago that there is something to do that
 
They where sold in Canada...I had heard of them but had only seen one on ebay til I came across this one...I ran the vin thru carfax and its a canadian model...AWD 2.0 N/T manual...then I ran my old GST vin and it shows up as fwd 2.0 turbo manual...So this gsx is canadian
