Default turbo + ecu codes = ???

i just converted to obd1 in my 89 crx si with a b16a1, i am now throwing a code 9 (tdc/crank/cyl sensor), code 14 (iacv), and a code 20 (eld). How bad of an idea is it to run a turbo kit when I am throwing ecu codes? the car seems to be running fine.

common sense would be to fix the cel's before boosting the motor. just check your wiring since you converted the obd system

i think its probably a bad dizzy for the code 9 and 20, and bad wiring for the iacv. if it seems to be running good do codes necessarily make it "unhealthy" ?

Well, if you are having distributor issues, that would effect timing and in turn would effect boost and you WILL run the risk of blowing your motor once in boost. You won't be able to tune your engine correctly at all.

FIX YOUR ECU CODES FIRST. Remember to reset the ECU each time you make changes. I usually unplug the ECU to make sure everything is reset and then plug it back in, because sometimes pulling the hazard fuse on some cars doesn't do it.
