Ford 2.3L Turbo Vehicle Applications

This turbo manifold is intended for compatible Ford 2.3L turbocharged Lima engine applications. Vehicle-specific clearance, turbocharger orientation and supporting modifications must be verified before installation.

Important: This is not a guaranteed direct bolt-on replacement for every vehicle listed. The revised turbo position can require modifications to oil lines, intercooler piping, exhaust routing, downpipe, wastegate plumbing and adjacent components.

Turbocharger and Wastegate Compatibility

The center-mounted turbo flange uses a T3-style four-bolt rectangular inlet configuration. Compatible T3 turbochargers and selected T3/T4 hybrid turbochargers can be considered, provided the mounting flange, turbine housing orientation and available installation space match.

The manifold also features an external wastegate mounting provision for compatible 35/38mm-style hardware. Confirm the wastegate bolt pattern, valve clearance and dump-tube configuration before purchasing related components.

Turbocharger, wastegate, downpipe and oil-line compatibility should be verified as part of the complete turbo system design.

Installation and Fabrication Information

This performance turbo manifold is designed for aftermarket applications and should be installed by an experienced turbo system fabricator or qualified performance technician.

• Not a direct factory replacement turbo manifold.
• No EGR provision.
• Custom downpipe fabrication or modification may be necessary.
• Turbo oil feed and drain routing may require modification.
• Intercooler piping and intake routing may require adjustment.
• Check steering, firewall, hood and engine accessory clearance.
