Best bet is to find an 84-88 2.3 turbo donor car. Mustang SVO, Thunderchicken, Merkur XR4ti. The 84-86 cars had the desireable .60 trim T3, and the 87-88 Thunderbird had the best MAF and ECU. An engine harness from a Merkur XR4ti is your best bet for a clean, easy wiring install as the engine harness threads through the dash and has the ECU plugs, and very simple power/ground hookups. It doesn't have to be spliced and fooled with like the other harnesses.
turboford.org is a great place to check, like mikeflys1 said, and there is also a Yahoogroups mailing list for turbo Ranger pickup trucks... great place to get your need to know info on swapping NA 2.3 for turbo, or just bolting the turbo and electronics onto the NA engine.
