I turbo swapped by buying an entire starion for $700 and transferring it all over. It was alot easier as you see where it came from and where it goes. However, its not the cheapest way to do it. On a 700$ car you can expect sub par parts so I had to rebuild alot of stuff and buy replacement parts. The cheap way would be to join starquestclub and watch the classified. You would need the wiring harness, ecu, knock box, injector resistor, and anything else connected to it. Intake and stuff, exhaust manifold and stuff aka turbo. Intercooler too. Use 1988-89 parts. You can probably piece together everything with choice parts for under 500$. Rebuild your motor to turbo standards... use rock auto and wait for wholesale closeout pricing on parts and you can do it for 250$ As an example, I'm buying a turbo spec cyl head on starquestclub for 70$ shipped... how is that cost effective as I'd think shipping is more.
