go to the rangerstation.com and view around the forced induction section. see what others have done. i believe there is a guy who did a really nice setup, rather then try to type everthing just read it.

You would have to fab a complete turbo set up for the 3.0 as none exsist. Also the internials are not forged, so you'll have to run low boost or swap in some forged pieces. It seems a V-8 swap maybe easier and less of a hassle. Explorer express makes a super charger for the 4.0. There use to be a super charger for the 3.0, but they stopped making it, maybe some left on ebay.
