Default RS Turbo Efi conversion

Hello
Have started converting a 1990 xr3i efi to turbo and want to use the OFAC parts
from the fiesta. My car does not have the CO potentiometer but a lambdasensor. Will this work or do i have to make some changes?

Unsure on this 1, I've never seen a mk4 with a lambda sensor, is it factory?

I'm sure they never came from factory with a lambda, must be aftermarket- can you follow the lead coming from the sensor in the engine bay?

Yes the car is an import from germany. The lambda has 4 wires and look original. And when i took out the ECU there were no wires going were the CO potentiometer should have bin.
