I have done this conversion 5x in the last 2 years,but all on 1994/95 cars.It is straight forward as you take the 3b ecu out and replace it with a Z4 or a 6K.You then change the td04 for a td05 and your away.
As your car is a version 4 you wont be able to bolt on a std td05 as your turbo is front entry going under the inlet manifold and a std td05 is top entry.
If your car is a 1998 then your 2S ecu can not be mapped,so you are probably better off getting a sti ecu off a V4 and a vf23/24 turbo which was the std item on a V4 sti iirc,& with some accompanying mods should see you pretty near to your target

You need a 6S ecu that will plug straight into your car,then the turbo
