You'd have to get standalone or piggyback engine management.

Your original engine has a much higher compression ratio than the turbo, and even if you swap all of the turbo parts on, the car will not run properly.

The EJ20 heads on an EJ25 block won't really work correctly, your combustion chamber is going to have such an odd shape you probably woul dhave a nightmare tuning it.
