found a nice white rust free 89 TBI omni for sale here in town for cheap.

How hard would it be to convert this to turbo?

I understand all of the mechanical parts (trans, engine, fuel) but have no clue about which way to go for the wiring.

Would an 89 van harnesss work good without much modification?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

James

You'll be spending less $$$ at the end if you can find an Omni that is already turboed from factory.

I know, but the problem is that I cant find one down here in Florida. All of the omnis I can find are rusted out or too much for me to spend.

the 89 mini harness is suppose to work best with the TBI setup from what Ive heard...other than swapping the bulkead, it should be a simple transaction!
