The only article i saw on turbobricks applies to an na efi setup. No one has mentioned the fact that if you retain the Kjet you will have to relocate the fuel distibutor/air intake unit to the pass. side of the car.The easiest way to do the swap (if you're staying with Kjet) would be to scavenge a turbo 240.Get the fuel dist.,intake plumbing,turbo w. manifold, intercooler,and use the b23 or 230 intake with intercooler to thrttlebody piping from a 740T. Oh i forgot you'll also need the steel fuel lines from the 240T. Of course with out changing the C.R. you will need to adjust the wastegate back for less boost, or opt for a boost controller of some kind.As far as the computers go between an '82 na and any 240T there the same. As you can see i've done a lot of thinking on this subject,as soon as i find a 240T doner i'll be doing it to my '78 244. Good luck, think it through . B.G.
