The computer doesn't care what ignition system you use (the DIS module and the TFI module do basically the same thing, with the same signal from the computer), use the stock Ranger wiring harness, keep the DIS module (but keep it grounded and put a heat sink on it...) and run just the passenger side coil pack and you're golden, you have to ground out the outside terminals of the drivers side coil connector for it to work right though but that's easy...
To put it simple, you don't have to do anything but mount the crank sensor on the turbo engine block and mount the DIS module...
My Tracker has been good to me other than the bearings in the tranny going out twice since I've had it (60k miles), it's the 16 valve version and has gotten a consistent 26mpg but has been burning a lot of oil since I've had it, cut it by 60% rebuilding the head last year but the rings are shot... ripped it apart to redo that and found the block cracked...
I might not be able to dig deep enough to find the baro sensor until this weekend, I want to get the new engine torn apart tomorrow to see what kinda parts it needs...
