Regarding adding water cooling turbo plumbing to an 85-87 engine: When I added a water-cooled turbo to my '86 NA with 5-speed transmission, I discovered that the metal tube that conveys coolant from the lower radiator hose to the turbocharger had to come from a donor car that also had a manual transmission. I don't know if a tube from a manual will work on an automatic. So, you need the right tube.
And, of course, a lower radiator hose from a Turbo. Which reminds me, some Turbo automatics (91+??) had oil-to-water transmission fluid coolers integrated into the lower radiator hose, so you might not want to use one from a donor car so-configured -- I'm not sure if it's easy/hard to get rid of the cooler.
