I have a non turbo 626 2.2 and found a wrecked 626 with turbo and intercooler at a junkyard. I was wondering if there are differences in motors like cam,compression,etc.. If so what must I get or do to do this project

more than likly u gonna need the head offa that junker your 6 has more compression than the turbo car.
If u were willing to come off the money XS engineering makes a ECU that is so tuneable u could use the turbo with the N.A. head. But if your shoppin in a junkyard u prolly aint wantin to do that.too much compression equals need fer higher octane gas to avoid detonation ,also cooling the hell out of the motor helps.
