Yes it might all bolt together and run, but it might detonate to bits on first hard use. Or run very badly, or leak oil everywhere. or run so rich that fuel gets past the pistons into the oil and wears out the turbo bearings in a few miles. Or metal particles get into the turbo bearings and wear them out in a few miles because the engine was not clean internally.
There are many things that can go wrong with modified engines, never mind very modified high boost, and usually do when not under the guidance of a competent engineer.
You need to find out exactly what your buying.
It sounds a bit like you're just relying on optimism and luck to get it working. Never mid working well.
My advice is that you find a competent engineer or business to help you, or read all the books and learn all the maths so you can do it yourself.
These forums are good for maintenance and small modifications. But you're proposing something far beyond that. You need to perhaps get the bottom end up to Scoff, or someone like that, and pay him to take it apart, inspect and de-bodge it, put it together and make sure it all works, then fit EFI and map it.
