running like a top. You have every thing you need in the two cars, You just need to get the electrical manual for the component systems -- not very valuable anymore because these cars are 20 year old beaters. The big thing is that the non- turbo has EZK ignition which electronically controls the spark using a knock sensor on the block. The turbo uses a simpler ignition system but uses the same knock sensor to control boost. So all you really have to do is remove the apc ( boost control) wires from the harness and lay them in the new car. you will have to do the same with the ignition wires. You will definitely need wiring diagrams. trans, shifter clutch all just bolts in. use the complete exhaust from the turbo car. changing the harness is too much work, the are one piece in these big fiats.
