You'll obviously need a head! You'll also need an LA2 or LA3 computer, large VAM, the VAM connector and 6" of wire and the 35 lbs browntop injectors. All this can be obtained from an '87-'88 Turbo Coupe. If you can't find one in a junkyard, Ebay and some of the message boards should have everything you need!

Oh yeah, instructions on the wiring and install are right here............................

Does anyone have the 87-90 Wiring Diagram that this links you to, it wont load for me and I would really like to see it. I'm a visual person..

I can get all of the electronics and such for you, there are Four TurboCoupes in the local junkyard. For the VAM, ECU, and wire tails, it'll be around $75. I dont know if he'll sell me the injectors without an engine wraped around it, but I'll see what I can do if your interested. Let me know.
