You're talking about a turbo from a 1987-1989 Thunderbird turbo coupe, right? The Warner-Ishi/IHI one?

The turbo itself won't bolt right up, primarily because the exhaust flanges are different.

I think the turbine wheel is the same as on our cars anyway though.

The compressor wheel is larger, and it can be swapped onto our turbos if you also swap the housing.

Ya you can swap in the compressor to make a hybrid turbo for our cars.
