i fried my computer and my wire harnesses got a few questions

About a month ago my computer and my wire harness burned up in my 87 non turbo. i bought a turbo 2 computer and wire harness, turbo with manifold, blow off valve, and the intercooler. it cost me a little over 700.00. all i need to know is will it work if i put it all in. or is there something i am missing

What caused the computer and wiring harness to "burn up" ? Whether or not the parts you purchaced will work depends on specifics. Is everything you purchaced the exact same as what was destroyed?...same numbers on the computer, all S4..etc.?

You cant just swap on that stuff. You need to look into a t2 conversion thread....you need to supply the turbo with oil and water, what are your pans for doing that? What about fuel? The stock NA system wont be enough to support a turbocharger. There are so many more loose ends in a t2 swap. Don't mean to sound like a dick......but do some research and then get back with serious inquiries.
