4kq turbo and EFI conversion questions

I am currently prepping a KH turbo engine / mac10 ECU (spark only) to
replace the current engine in my 4kq. I was looking online and I see the
gear reduction starters (my current starter failed) are now the same
cost as a standard starter. I am not a big Audi parts person but I know
that would be the route I would take for my corvette if I found one. I
also pulled a 2.5l intake and fuel injection rail out of a 93 eurovan
and was thinking of using that intake for an EFI conversion. If I did
that I would need to swap on a suitable head. Has anyone heard of that
intake/injection system being transplanted and what fuel flow rates they
are capable of? I know a shop in town that blueprints injectors but was
hoping to save some money and ask here before I have them flow test it.
Right now I am only into the intake/injection system for $60 so I would
hate to spend $125 to find out the injectors are way too small for my
application. I would be happy with around 180 to 200 hp when it is done.
 
Thanks for the help
 
John
