This hasn't been moved yet, but just as a note, the internals of the Turbo Coupe engine are way stronger than your 2.3L. I don't know how your 2.3L would hold up under 15psi of boost. It would probably be less work just to swap the engines. You'll want a better radiator too. If you have the A4LD auto, don't bother, that thing is a junkpile.
