the 92 turbo would have no problem swapping it over to the 93.
it is a bit difficult loosing the bolts but with a little grunting and sweet talk the bolts will eventually come out,
let me give you a tip on loosing the turbo bolts,
the tool try in the trunk of the car has that tire hollow pipe.
grab that and slide it over the handle of the socket wrench. this will give more leverage and act as a breaker bar.
even with the added length on the wrench the bolts will fight.
it is possible to cross thread the nut off the bolt when loosing the turbo leaving the bolts threads mushed and messed up.
eeuro parts carry a exhaust bolt and stud kit, and the gasket that is needed on the install from manifold to turbo, make sure to grab these.
ripping the turbo out of the car took me around 2 hours,
it took so long because i pulled up a couch and watched t.v. between the loosing of bolts, you know to catch my breath.
grab the oil pipe gaskets from eeuro also,
the hole job rates around a 8 (ten being almost impossible),
just because the bolts are so massively tight.
i was thinking on my next turbo pull, i was going to heat up the motor (turbo unit) before i attempted to pull the bolts, reason being (much like the oil filter loosens and is much easier to unscrew)
im thinking the turbo bolts will act in much the same way,
just have to ware leather gloves, being all the heat.
but i would bet the bolts,.. (or nuts) would be much, much easier to pull.
keep us informed on how everything goes.
im sure you will know in the first 10 miles if the car is able to make the trip.
