I get 300 ft lbs of tq at 4300 RPMS.
For boost controll I use a 38 mm external waist gate. With an adjustable boost controller from ebay for 20$
With easy driving I get mid 20's.
Tunning was pretty easy I got the pro racer pac from SCT. I had a local shop run it on the dyno to get it tuned in.
It could have ben done a lot cheaper. All you need is the xcal 2 from sct tell them what you are running for injectors and MAF let them know how much boost you are going to run they can send it with a tune for your truck.

Just as long as it comes from a 95 or later ford car truck or SUV.
You can learn a lot more about turbo rtangers at RPS I am jesshwarren over there. Go to the turo tec in the 2.3L to the 2.5L section.

Sry messed up on the spelling in the above post.
I will have the ranger out of the shop tomarrow.
I installed some new pistons had the block cleaned at a local machine shop. Installed the ARP head studs I am going with a 3 layer steel headgasket 30 psi of boost is going to be a lot of fun! I need this thing to perform as soon as the track opens. I should run low 12's.

Also are you using the sodium filled stainless valves like the ones in my 87 Turbo coupe? Or the stock twin plug head.
