Exclamation Put a 13 BT in place of a 13 B...what else needs to be done???

hey all...I want to upgrade my car to a turbo...well definitely would need the T II hood unless I get a front mount intercooler...and obviously the engine swap from a 13 B to a 13 BT...however I suppose I would need a new elec. harness, a new chip or comp...I wanna know if anyone knows what else would I need...I really wanna do this but not wihtout all the details and full knowledge..any help or comments would be greatly appreciated...thanks 4 reading the story of a boy who desperately need to upgrade to a turbo...also if anyone knows whether there is a turbo kit for a N/A...if so let me know, I just haven't seen one...peace

you could probably buy a turbo II for less money then trying to convert yours. not to mention saving the weeks of work...
