I have a 97 850 n/a and a chance to buy a wrecked turbo.
What all would be involved in making my car a turbo besides switching
the motor and ecu?

Thanks

If its a manual boxed car, then nothing. :)

So the gearbox, clutch, brakes, suspension, tyres etc are the same as the
turbo?

Actually no, the gearbox ratios may be different from the NA, but the
clutch, brakes are all the same. Turbo tyres will be W rated and 205/50-16's
or 17's (for the UK)

Springs on the turbo are stiffer than some of the NA cars- depends which
model and engine size you start with!
