Need Help With 85 To 87 Conversion

I cant seem to find a reasonably priced 86 or 87 turbo car so Ive decided I am going to take the leap and convert my 85 to the 87 version. I am going to keep my stock block and go from there. I will be buying the conversion kit from Intercooled88's so I should have all the parts Im needing. I know I will have to drill and tap the block or put a bung in the oil pan for the oil drain back from the turbo. I also know I can keep my hydroboost system. I also know all the underhood wiring, A/C, throttle lines, and fuel lines are different. My buddy that lives near by has an 87 so I can look at it to see where everything goes and he said he would help me since hes had his whole motor apart. My main questons are besides all that Ive mentioned what else will need to be changed, and also does anyone have any links to other topics on this as I tried the search feature and couldnt really find anything on it. Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dusty
