the turbo with the AXT kit I saw has the same A/R #'s as the volvo b230ft engines and they are .42ex .48comp.
The ford engine Brownbear is talking about is a 2.3 liter . I had a Merkur . Good turbo , cheap and easy to rebuild yourself .
.60 on comp. side is ok, should spool up nicely and the charge air temp will not be to hot at 13 psi...the trick is having a good a/r on the turbine side and .48 should work well, it is a good compromise , does not spool up real quick and chock out at higher load/rpms.
