It's been my understanding that you can't jus plop a turbo on a 2.3L ...Please correct me if I am wrong but aren't the blocks and pistons different in a Turbo 2.3 compaired to a reg 2.3....In different I mean one is forged the other casted. Hense giving the turbo set up block the strength needed for the added power of the turbo???

well your most power is going to come from a thunderbird turbo coupe motor which is still a 2.3 but it has forged pistons and a turbo.
