Default new to the scene.....

need some advice... i have 90 spec xr3i cab, but have been buying bits up on ebay for rs turbo conversion, so far i have got engine (ported & polished big valves etc) t3 turbo, wiring loom, ecu's, manifolds, exhaust, pro alloy intercooler, metering unit, bigger brakes, rs gearbox, baileys d/v most of what i think need, i know most ppl say to get a donor car put them side by side and swap everything over but obv i cant do that as i have no donor car??!! just wondering of what sort of problems i can expect to have if any?? also does it matter being a 90 model and efi changing to mfi turbo.... any trouble or as ill be changing the loom will it not matter? also as i have power hood will i have to start messing about with the looms?? any and all advice would be massively appreciated

oh right, is it too much work to go mfi?? i know need the fuel tank, pump and pipes etc, what is better in your opinion?? will it pretty much be a case of getting hold of a fiesta turbo/xr2i inlet manifold and ofac ecu?? for the efi route? sorry about all the questions just getting abit confused now nowhere near as straightforward as i first thought!!
