Turbo Manifold Swap questions
Hi Guys,
I am swapping 1989 JDM block into my 1987 Turbo II with bad seals/block.
I have stripped down both motors and am ready to reassemble using 89 block and 87 front cover, 87 intake, 87oil metering and 87 harness/ECU.
I have the oil injectors and turbo manifild from the 1989 engine and i want to know if these can be swapped in to the 87 setup.
The difference seems to be the 87 has additional wastegate, and some of the 87 oil injectors were damaged during disassembly.
I will be attaching pictures of them soon.
As this is my first turbo project any advice on the swap is appreciated.

If you have them, the S5 intake manifold and turbo should be used, as they're both better the the S4 items. If you don't have the S5 turbo, you can't use the S5 exhaust manifold. If you use the the S5 intake manifold you'll need to put the S4 TB onto it as the S5 TB has no connection for the OMP actuator rod. The oil injectors are all them same.
