"nothing overly dramatic" a turbo N/A motor is a dramatic job, as it requires all sorts of custom ****

you'll definately need some sort of engine management (safc / e-manage), acv blockoff plate, gauges(boost & afr minimal). Also, depending on the turbo you go with, a custom exhaust manifold might need to be fabricated. I'm nearly finished with my 91 N/A turbo conversion and its nearing the $2000 dollar mark in parts alone. I have to agree with arghx, its definately quite a dramatic conversion.

Search and read the FAQ, as well as visit the archives. These should be the first things you do before posting, since all of your answers should be found easily.
