Will this work?

I have a 90 convertible and I have a few questions about turboing it. I have a few ideas about how I want to do this but could someone give some input on if this would work or not. If it won't work what needs to be considered:

-keeping my stock ecu and wiring harness
-getting a turbo flywheel and keeping NA tranny
-keeping my NA drivetrain
-getting a rebuilt turbo engine
-piecing the rest together(turbo,exh. and int manifolds, IC...etc)
-and using a S-AFC

Could this work if I keep the boost below 10 psi?

I'd suggest a Turbo ECU/Pressure sensor/AFM
Can't use a turbo flywheel with the N/A tranny
NA driveline will be OK as long as you don't beat on it and don't go much past stock

You can use an SAFC with the n/a ecu, but it's not recommended since it doesn't pull timing, and it's generally a bit less reliable.

How is the stock ECU going to know it's in boost?

Trans will most likely fail.

-keeping my NA drivetrain
Drivetrain will most likely fail.

-getting a rebuilt turbo engine
Sounds expensive?
