It's possible to run the GE electronics with a Turbo setup, but you can't use the coilpack setup, ignitor, AFM, or the Turbo ECU.

I'd use the GTE electronics if I was going to do it.

im with them, I plan on getting a spare head and working it over (since my car is smoking on start up and we all know what that means) and then getting all the associated GTE electronics and swapping it all over on a long weekend with a cometic mhg using my NA block. Besides using the turbo's electronics is superior to using the NA's anyway when it comes to HI HP applications.

Keep your engine, but use all turbo electronics. Much easier to tune and run more power later on. The biggest problem I had with the NA electronics turbocharged is the transition between no boost and some boost or if you drove at that point, like climbing a hill. The car would surge, stumble, choke run terrible. If you hit it harder and had lots of boost, there would be no problems. I had 440cc injectors and an AFC. There's no way to tune for the boost transition. My engine is NA intake manifold, turbo block and all turbo electronics now. I'll have it dynoed at the end of the month at the Suprashootout. Going to dyno at 20psi and hoping to hit 400+whp.... :biglaugh:
