if 123.190... then i got no info.

if you were somewhere near MB/TECHMAN... he can always do the conversions and modifications.

Don't you just love the guys, that will bash you for not working here full time, but are "above" the things like posting their location?
I bet the guy is in Israel, so Baton Rouge is not on his way of daily commute. It is too humid there anyway.
Anyway, unless you have a mechanic working for nothing, adding turbo to non-turbo engine will cost you more, than factory turbo-equipped car cost those days.
Not to mention, that turbo engines have reinforced connecting rods and other components.
Good luck, whenever you are.
