A Turbo Question
 
I have a 87 non-turbo, and i want to get turbo for it. Would it work if i just put it on, or is there anything else i need to do?

If you really want to know, yes the standard computer/fuel system will cope with standard boost (5.5psi).
How do I know? because mine did. However, having said that I don't recomend that, a full aftermarket computer is the only way to go. Furthermore, I also don't recomend having a blockage in your oil feed line to the turbo, this is why the bearings in my turbo recently shat themselves :)
I was able to keep the boost regulated to 5.5psi with the stock wastegate (with some massive porting..) with just a 3in straight pipe and custom inlet piping to the turbo aswell. You just need to REALLY port the shit out of the wastegate and obviously make the transition from the housing to the wastegate hole as smooth as possible.
