Manifold, since the ports are different, then most likely a different downpipe, probably more needs changing :s

really does depend on what your 8v turbo kit is. If your using stand alone management and bigger injectors you will have to mod the loom and change injectors. Also inlet pipes may vary as will exhaust manifold and possibly down pipe depending on turbo positioning. Also if you have low comp pistons they may not swap directly over. The map sensor may require a bit of diy work to fit in as well. And more. It really does depend on exactly what your trying to do. It could be very complicated with lots of new parts requires or relatively simple.
