Yes and yes (if EGT's and boost are monitored and kept at reasonable levels - 550 C post turbo and ~ 12psi.) Intercool it if you can.

what model 2.4?
the ct20 from a 2L-T does not bolt straight on as it is a different manifold and head to the series one 2L.

I bought a 2.4 with turbo on it. It was all off a surf. I did an engine swap and found that the old head had extra manifold holes that the new one didnt. The head looked like .'.'.'.' but I wanted .'.''.'. or something like that. Turns out you just need to measure a few times, close your eyes and start drilling. Just watch out for water jackets. Had no dramas.

I would expect an 89 head to allready have the threaded holes to take the studs to suit a 2LT/2LTE turbo manifold.

EDIT: Doh .... cna't sepll etiher

well you were told wrong. Mine is the ealrier 2L and have had no dramas engine wise and the motor the kit came off had no dramas and it had been on fitted for most of the car's life
