Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section.

Sounds like an interesting build! There really aren't a whole lot of performance parts out there for the SOHC engines since the Mustang guys just buy the V8
I like the idea of putting the intake behind the cab. You might be able to build a sort of snorkel intake that fits between the bed and cab so you don't have to sacrifice any cargo space. Remember that you'll need to run oil lines from the engine out to the turbo as well.

Thank you. Ok I will look around in there. Yea I have been kicking around doing the custom sohc turbo build or just swapping the motor to a cummins 4bt motor and crank the power up ha.. But yea I am going Yo do a rear mounted turbo I'm thinking and run the intake tubing actually into the bed of my 04 that's like yours winter.
