You just need the turbo top end and replace the tune on the na ecu with a turbo tune. Jobs done. If you don't have a later block you will need to drill and tap the block to get the oil line in and yes you should be able to complete it for 1500

I was in a stock old NA motor on 20 psi the other day:p needed MUCH bigger injectors but it didn't blow up :), VN luke took his worn out stock motor that he used to have before he built the good one to over 20 psi and made 280 rwkw with it no problems, couldn't break it (these are all WITH coolers)
