Convertible auto to 5 spd and engine swap question

Ok, so my coupe is almost done and it's going to be time to start on my convertible. It's a 94 automatic with a 16V turbo. It was a parts car for the previous owner - blown tranny. He sold off the turbo and the cylinder head. Now I got myself another C900 parts car, but it's an 89 5spd 16V. Now I know I can swap that 5 spd and I can swap the engine into it, but can I keep it a turbo? I realize the 16V has higher compression ratio, but figured I would ask if there is a way to keep it a turbo. It looks like everything would just bolt up to it. Would switching to a 2.1 head change the compression enough? Do I need turbo camshafts? The convertible still has the exhaust manifold, intercooler, piping, computer etc...
