Turbo 2.3

Anyone ever turboed a 2.3 on here? Looking to buy a 2.3 ranger and turbo it. Ive heard all you need is forged pistons and then the turbo setup itself, which basically is what is in a turbo coupe thunderbird. Thanks

I guess the follow-up is what 2.3 are we talking about, Lima or Duratec? Since OP made mention of the Turbo Coupe, I'm guessing the former, which also has roots in the SVO Mustang and (I think) Sierra/Merkur XR4ti.

EDIT: Took another look at the site since I just saw Duratec the first time. I'd be lying if the thought of doing this on mine!
