well the only thing i think you missed was the turbo oil feed and drain. also i believe you got some stuff on there you dont need, like the fuel pump relay. I dont think that changed between the two (turbo/na). also the power steering res, but i think thats more of a preference. I got lazy and didn't move mine. Didn't really find that it got in the way at all.
hope it turns out better than my na/t (rod knock).

what happened to it? my motor is not the original. it was rebuilt.

The oil pan is the same, but if your going to pull the engine, then why not drill the block in the factory local for the oil return. Its not just one hole though heres some info, there was a good pic there, but its gone now.

Good luck!

rod knock. pretty common for any 7m. this was brought on by a blocked pcv, which in turn blew out the pan gasket and any oil in the pan.

for the five or so hours i drove with that engine, it was fun as shit. I love high compression turbo motors.

that list looks good so far, ive actually been looking into dropping a turbo in my na sometime this year and i came across this website http://www.4cefed.com/conversion.html i dont know if this guy has a good reputation. but he mentioned something that wasnt in ur list, it was that the turbo block has oil squirters and na doesnt. i dont know how you could add that though.

thanks for the heads up

only thing you can do about that is getting a turbo block. some early turbo models came with ge blocks.

That guy has a GREAT reputation. He's actually the person I quoted in the NA-T sticky thread on top of this forum.

are you serious!? either that search button is busted or i cant see whats in front of me! this is the dfirst na - t thread i found.

and do you think it would be okay if the oil squirters were left out? what would happen

Boost pressure sensor

Isn't the plug for it in the engine bay main harness? I at least didn't find a plug for it (I'm in the process of doing NA-T, about 85% done I think). Am I blind?

 

[mecevans]

i heard the NA exhaust bolts up even if the car is turbo. this true?

 

[mecevans]

does the turbo water neck differ from the na one?

is any of the egr system different from a ge? im in cali and they are smog nazi's!

what hp level is a stock w58 clutch good for?

 

[Zumtizzle]
