Rebuil N/a Motor 13b

Well i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for rebuilding a non turbo motor to handle a turbo kit. Where i could obtain some good parts for this. I am taking this as a second option because i cant get a clear instructions from the forum on swapping a 13b turbo into my N/a S4 model. anyone got any suggestions? and if i was to buy a turbo kit for my motor i am going to want to make sure i have a FMIC, and stuff to monitor Fuel and things like that i am sure, and upgrade injectors.
Or if anyone has done a swap in their N/a to a 13bTurbo motor i would love for them to PM me because i am interested in talking directly to them vs, reading something i learn more verbally/hands on... thanks if anyone can help

I suggest you make good friends with the search function. You can't find info on doing a 13b turbo swap? Have you tried searching? This topic has been covered extensively.

As far as building a N/A motor to handle a turbo it takes quite a bit of time. Nothing really has to be done to an s4 n/a block (internally), as the compression ratios aren't that different (8.5 for T2, and 8.9 IIRC for N/A). the bulk of the work is outside the block. If you are buying a kit alot of the work will already be done for you.

compression ratios are very different: 8.5:1 vs 9.4:1 for 86-88 and 9:1 vs 9.7:1 for 89-91 .
