Engine internals yes. Just about everything else...no. The fuel system is different, the exhaust is different and even the turbo is different.

A few of the suspension pieces will swap easily though.

Check Racer Walsh, Esslinger Engineering, and do a search for a few more vendors.

I'll recommend that you take a trip over to turboford.net also

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster
