i've owned 2 86 turbos, one with the 5 speed, the other was an automatic.
the manual still has the original, oil cooled turbo, with 240,000+ miles (my son now owns it).
the automatic blew its turbo and i replaced it with a oil and water cooled unit from an 87. the oil supply lines were a direct fit and i used it as a oil only unit for at least 5,000 miles without incident. because i saw that the auto tends to run somewhat hotter than the 5 speeds, i decided to add the coolant lines to the turbo as well. i found the lines i needed in a junk yard and fitted them without too much effort. so i would suggest you just slap the new turbo on and if you want, you can add the coolant lines later.
hope this helps.
