Like the title says, looking at turboing an '02 duratec engine and couldn't find any definitive info on which turbo manifold will bolt up to a non-Lima 2.3L.

Thanks!

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
IIRC there's a bunch of ram horn style headers on ebay for the 2.3 focus... should work on the ranger just fine.

I hadn’t realized the bolt patterns were the same on both vehicles. Thanks!

Also, the MX5 Miata headers are supposed to bolt on.

if you're going turbo check out the 2.0 EcoBoost manifold, it worth investigating.
