part list for turbo swap
I'm thinking of doing a swap over the summer so right now I'm putting together a list of parts I will need.
So far here it is, and whatever I'm forgetting post and I'll add it.
engine with turbo - $200 from upullandpay
Rebuild kit - $?
ecu tune - $50 I think thats how it works
clutch - $125
Manifold - $200
Downpipe/exhaust - $?
By the way it is a 96 ford ranger with the 2.3.

Thats my bread and butter.
You want:
Forged bottom end, pistons rods the works.
Ported head, bigger cams, springs & valves.
large intercooler
cone filter intake
1000 cc injectors
255lph walbro fuel pump & upgraded lines/rail
aem engine management
map sensor conversion
wb02 sensor(s)
hard pipe plumbing
ceramic coated manifold
upgraded clutch
high flowing exhaust
external tial wastegate
manual (or electronic) boost controller
Mitsubishi or (Garrett if you have the money) turbo(s)
appropriate gauges (boost, AFR, oil temp/pressure, maybe egt)
Most important - a good tuner
Really the fuel system is one of the most important. This is usually overlooked.
It is going to be expensive if you want to make a turbo beast, but you can go cheaper with still reasonable results. If it were me I'd shoot for 250-300 whp, thats very attainable and still driveable. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but someone will catch it.
I really want to build myself a turbo 2.3 but I don't have the time for 2 science projects at once, plus i have the 3.0ohv now

Always remember you can have any 2 of the 3 things:
Fast
Cheap
Reliable
If you start trying to pull too much power from a cheaper setup you will be running an aggressive mixture that will eat up your pistons and any knock can break the engine fast.
