86/87 Computer swap into hot air

[racemybuick]

I am sure this topic has been discussed on and on and on, but I cant seem to find the threads!


I want to upgrade, and I have a computer (and direct scan!!!), and I am trying to figure out what I need to do, buy, install, to get this thing going!!!


So... What to do???

Easy as Pie! :tongue:
Here is how I do it . . .
Keep the compressor and turbine housings just tight enough so you can rotate them.
Mount the turbo it on the intake with the up-pipe and headers, and tighten the up-pipe and headers down.
Than, just snug one bolt on the exh housing, and one on the compressor housing, remove the turbo and tighten the rest of the bolts.
