'864kqt upgrade help...



Hello everyone....

While I was at the wrecking yard last weeken I noticed and '83 5kt
with the turbo and motor still intact minus fuel metering head.
They quoted $50 for the head and $35 for the turbo. 
Now my questions start I have an '86 4kq that runs well but needs more
power and this may be the way to do it.
Now, I have done a lot of mechanical work but never attempted anythin like
this before but I do have people that would be willing to help me do 
the transplant (Rick Schwalenberg) but can I just transfer the head
including manifold and turbo routing and not have to change the block.
Or is it easier to just put the whole motor in????
I would like to keep the CIS injection as it works perfectly. Is this 
feasable? DO I have to go back to K-Jetronic if I want to do this right??
Any thing else needed (computer)? I will get a boost gauge and can set up
the CO.
I do not want to go backwards with technology if I can help it (86>83)
Will the NA CIS support a turbo motor?
BTW, this is a WK motor isn't it rated for 130hp?

Will I destory my NA pistons if I put that turbo and head on ther???
Also, will the 4kq downpipe hookup off the turbo manifold or do I need the
downpipe also???

Sorry for playing 20 question,
TIA!!!
