first, get a Bentley manual and research the differences between the turbo and NA engine systems (EZK ignition, APC system, etc.) It is not that difficult, but you will need some time and a way to get around while you do the swap. A simple engine swap with transmission and all is pretty easy. Leave the turbo connected (it is mounted to the special exhaust manifold) and operate it as a LPT until you get the time to install the APC system (harness, control box, pressure transducer, knock sensor to make it function properly. This biggest difference between a LH 2.4 NA and a LH 2.4 T (aside from the APC system) is the ignition. You will probably need the ignition harness from the T car and the bentley to make sure it is hooked up correctly. THe NA engine has a computer (EZK) to control spark advance with an eye on knock. The T car has a dumb ignition system - base advance, vacuum/boost controlled advance/retard and uses the boost pressure (APC) to control knock. ALso, you will need a different exhaust hookup to the engine. good luck
