Jeff, 
I've asked this question before, and got no positive
replies.
I'm doing a turbo 1500 project now, in stages.

Step 1 is to add fuel injection and engine management,
I'm using Ford EEC-IV from an Escort.
Step 2 is to add the turbo, intercooler, piping, etc.

I have acquired all the needed hardware, have access
to the software.
Right now I'm arranging for modification to the Escort
intake manifold and FI hardware to fit the Spit.

I'll post the process if anyone is intersted, a friend
has loaned me his digital camera.

Anyone with any experience at this, please share.

Thanks,
Carter
