Default turbo crossflow

i have a 1600 crossflow motor which is just standard and i was wondering if any one new what kind of manifold i would have to use and whether i would have to change the carby or not.

I'd go the 2ltr Pinto engine. Much stronger block & bottom-end for a turbo application, plus there would be more turbo parts & information available for the Pinto engine. Also, with injection, it would be much easier to turbo than a carby engine.
