Default help on turbocharging my 93 4 banger

hey, my name is pat, im 16 years old and i just got a 93 lx 5 speed. my dad says i cant handle the 5.0 yet. but, he doesnt mind the 2.3 turbo. so right now we have a engine out of an 88 turbo coupe. we have the LA2 computer, a t-3 turbo, a vien meter and a intercooler. we werent able to get the wire harness out of the turbo coupe, does anyone know a way to upgrade the wire harness we already have to work with the turbo.
we heard of a guy doin that to a 87 mustang, but it had a distributer and 4 plugs. bieng that are's has no distributer and 8 plugs,coil packs,etc... is are harness useable? ..........................HELP!

I thought about this when my 91 still had the banger in her. My thoughts where to just take the turbo from a T-Bird, without all the vein meter crap, and plumb it all through the mass-air meter already on the 91 banger. No need to change the electronics. Of course the injectors would have to be upgraded and the meter recalibrated.

I say run the turbo with the 93 mass-air and electronics. Alot of the SVO/Turbo Coupe guys convert to mass-air. You would be going backwards with the vein meter.

Yes, but ditch anything to do with the Turbo Coupe except the turbo. Plump it all through the 93's mass-air meter with the 93's electronics and processor. Do not use the Turbo Coupe processor
