Default 89 Turbo parts on 86 Turbo Block

Will an 89 Turbo S housing fit on a 86 turbo block?
How about an 89 cylinder head, will that fit on an 86 turbo block?
Will a 86 turbo block bolt up to an 89 trasmission?

Thanks!

As long as by housing you mean clutch bellhousing. Right?

I meant the actual Turbo itself (which i thought was lager) from a 89T car can it bolt on an 86T block?

Everything is the same. The turbo will bolt on with no problems. Every block from 85.5+ is identical other than the internals of the n/a versus turbo. The n/a block can be used in a turbo with absolutely no problems along with the head, turbo, intake manifold, and everything else under the hood.

Not that it makes any difference but I think we are dealing with a 87 block and not an 86 per our prior email.

There is no difference in the block between an 86 to an 91 951 - except that the 87+ blocks have the timing belt "automatic" tensioner studs tapped out and installed.

Hell, there are at best minor differences between the NA and the turbo blocks, and the 87+ blocks are identical for all of the 2.5l 944s.
