May 13, 200817 yr Sure can! Just make sure you swap the entire exhaust. The engine crossmember. If you dont want to blow your motor up, i suggest you swap blocks as well. If the motor is originally a carburated motor, then you will need to swap your intake manifold, your wiring harness & install the ECU. Oh, and its probably a EA82... -Brian

Pleas help:-\ I'm not sure if it will bolt up or not, but basically you don't want to do it. The naturally aspirated engines have a lot higher compression than the turbo engines, so if you put a turbo on one you will probably start blowing head gaskets right away. Above and beyond all that, it would probably be a heck of a lot of work to adapt an EA81 turbo setup to an EA82 motor. Andy
