power might be slightly lower due to the slightly lower CR, but you may pick up a few ponys from the more aggressive turbo cams. like cha-honda said ass long as the oil/coolant lines are plugged you will be fine. fuel and timing curves will remain the same with the ecu you left in the car. if it has a knock sensor the ecu will most likely advance the timing a bit automaticaly. it should run like a turbo car without the boost of a turbo or the restriction of a dead one. shit, might as well put the turbo on there as well if the car doesnt have one already
