I've done this on my 83' Turbo right after I replaced the turbo, and It's not overly hard to do. Make sure you have all the parts, and installation is pretty straightforward. I had to cut and bed the oil cooler bracket, and move it a little bit, along with replacing the coolant tank with the smaller version, and rerouting one of the fuel lines going into the fuel distributor. I also remember having to bend the top part of the radiator that connects to the hose that goes into the resivor up a notch.

I also added a manual boost control valve, and disabled the fuel cutoff switch (unplugged the vacuum line and plugged it up).

You will be happy when the car is intercooled, it makes a big difference. I also added a watercooling kit for my turbo at the same time.

Good luck,

Zack
