just getting it off my mind

well i have a 87 rx7 na. rebuilt with approx. 30k. i want to put a turbo on it so i bought everything from a t2 87. my problem is i am good at fixing things. not aftermarket. my questions are.

can i use the na wiring harness. instead of the t2.

what ecu should i use. if i use the t2 one. can it plug into the the na wiring harness. what problems am i going to run into.

If you'd search you'd be able to find solid answers to all those questions.

You can and you should. It's easier and works just was well. You just need to make a few small alterations.

You should definitely use the Turbo ECU and yes it plugs straight in.

what problems am i going to run into.
Depends on how knowledgeable and experienced you are. My impression is that you should do a lot more research before starting. This swap has been discussed in many, many threads, so I highly recommend reading a bunch of them. Not just one or two, as many as you can find. The more info you have, the fewer unexpected problems you'll encounter.

The stock recirculating BOV is there to reduce intake noise. Aftermarket open-vented BOV's are just noise-makers for getting people to look at you...
