NorthWet Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Which way are you swapping? If turbo into carb chassis, it is far more complicated. Starting at the back and moving forward: Swap Fuel pump, swap fuel lines (FI is higher pressure and requires a high-volume return line), ECU, wiring, engine w/exhaust up- and down-pipes, engine crossmember. If you are planning on using the turbo's tranny you swill also need its axles. Probably a few other things that I have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeshoup Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Aren't turbo difs a different ratio from a N/A dif? If manual, yes. If auto, I don't think so (?). However, the author of this thread doesn't mention switching trannies. The difference is in the tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
