turbo vert? what will it take?

what would it take (engine wise) to convert my engine from a 90 S5 vert to a turbo motor?
could i keep the housing? would i have to get new rotors?

well i suggest just doing it on your own.

and if you didnt know there is a difference between the turbo 13b and the n/a 13b.

turbo has 4 ports.

n/a has 6. the extra 2 are auxillary ports.

Your mechanic friend will know what to do. Search for the NA to turbo threads and you can find some really good write ups.
