Went to local scrap yard and

Found a 92 talon tsi awd manual, it has been there for almost a year from what they say. i have a 1994 n/t and was after the throttle body, water pipe (if it varies from the n/t), air filter housing, and intercooler, would it be recommended to buy the intercooler and clean it up or research an aftermarket one instead.

Also the guy already told me his buddy bought the turbo off it and put it on his n/t without any other modifications, and tells me it runs like crap, xd,

He did give me prices for the few i asked about and also it has 160K on it, no further knowledge if it has been rebuilt or not, the block/head/intake still attached along with the throttle body. cams are rusted to a degree, and the head doesnt look like too good of condition either. i have a 7 bolt right now and im sure this 92 is a 6, if i decide to have them yank the head/block and rebuild from that, or keep my 7 bolt block and head, and just ask for the camshafts if they can be refinished again.

I would like some good opinions from others who may have been in the same situation as i am, and yes i am going to attempt the n/t to turbo conversion as my body/frame if still in very good shape.

Thanks,

The waterpipe has provisions for coolant lines. As far as intercooler, of course you can clean it out and use it. It just depends if you want a FMIC or stock SMIC, it's up to personal preference.

Also, you're probably gonna want to take the turbo ecu and injectors and maybe mass air, that way there isn't a "running like shit" problem out the box.

Ive read that the AWD ecus may not match accordingly with the FWD model turbos,
and for the turbo, they sold that right away as stated to someone who didnt know what he was doing.
i dont remember seeing the MAF or MAS and the injectors they dont have so ill have to find somewhere else to buy those at, used and tested for the prices ive been given,
basically still deciding if i should use my head, and do a valve job and buy their cams if its possible to being them back to working condition again, ill go back there sometime this week and take a few pictures and hopefully i can get some good feedback on to what good alternative route i should take.

well vfaq.com should help with that turbo swap, i did one fairly simple.
