Take N/A engine out, Put turbo engine in. Trace the old loom back to passenger footwell and unplug it, Plug new loom into where you unplug the old one.

Take the turbo loom out still attached to the engine and save a bit of hassle. Then just reroute it to the footwell. You'll need to swap over the driveshafts too. Pop them out of the turbo box and remove engine and box at same time.
