engines are easy to work on, its just a pinto with a turbo
p8, l6, l8, l1 is types of weber ecu's, if your car is still fitted with the factory ecu it will be L8
wasted spark basically is a kit that does away with the distributor/rotor arm etc
closed loop basically for MPG purposes, allows you to run a lambda, but depending on your motor, you may already have a lambda
you will need to change your chip if running siemens.
you dont need any of the above other than the chip change to achieve what you want, t34.63 will make 400hp how long the turbo will last is another matter, t34.63's are really on the limit at circa 400hp, the good thing is the ported head which will help.
