Default Finishing Off My Turbo Conversion

RIGHT!!!

Serioulsy looking at getting this sorted out in the next wee while, so I'm looking for ACTUAL answers here!

For those who don't know - Using the original Orion 1.6i Ghia Efi, with FRST turbo/manifolds added. Still running on the original Orion mangement.

I need to replace the current Orion Ghia ECU, MAP Sensor and AIT sensor - correct?

I have all these ready and waiting, the ECU is Ofab.

What changes do I need to make to the loom to accomodate these? I'm looking for as specific an answer as possible chaps.

I have a full loom for a FRST in the garage, would I be better to swap the whole thing out? I don't fancy having the dash etc ripped out if I can avoid it.

I heard before that the loom in my Orion should be pretty much the same apart from a few minor changes - does anyone know what these changes are?

Thanks people

Did I read correctly that you're intending to bolt a turbo onto the n/a 1.6 EFI engine?

My mate bolted a turbo techinics kit onto his standard XR2 (though he fitted ARP rod bolts) running 7psi on a fooked T2 it ran a 14.6 quarter mile which is fooking impressive!
