Default My turbo swapped 1995 standard wagon

So, theres a 94 turbo engine im buying from the "auto recycling" place I work at and im wondering if anyone else has done this swap.
This IS happening next week, although the swap will probably take me a week haha. Any input is much appreciated, as well as any hate/love. Thanks!

What are you trying to do? Just swap motors or is your existing engine an N/A?

I just started another thread on the wiring. The wiring harnesses are a little bit different, but the harness doesn't seem to come apart anywhere to add that as if you were building cars at the factory. Other than that, it seems pretty straightforward. If you have both cars to look at, you shouldn't have any reason to mess up. With a junkyard, of course, they might crush it while you still need one more thing off it.

One think I will say is that with the intercooler in the middle of the cooler sandwich, it's somewhat easier to swap all the coolers as a unit rather than to dismantle them on 2 cars. My 2 cents.
