IMO the best and only way to convert a 4 banger car to a turbo is to swap the whole damn engine over with a factory turbo 2.3. They're not very hard to come by and you get forged internals and the engine is set up for the oil return and all that. It's just much much easier and reliable in the long run.

I usually get 20 mpg in town only driving. When I drove the highway more I got 30 mpg, but thats been about 9 yrs ago. Mine is an automatic, never given me a lick of problem really. Yea the ICM is $120 and the coil packs are $60 each, but not worth changing out a whole engine. Also remember that the 91-93 had a little more horsepower when they went to DIS.

Good luck finding a nice daily driver, 2.3 or otherwise.
