how hard would it be to put the forged pistons in my block and make it turboed that way? also i know that i would have to tap a hole i the oil pan and the heads are different but could the head stand up to the pressure.

i think you would be more cost efficient to find a lima motor. the heads are different as well, as are the rods and crank from what i read. theyre beefier all around for boost, and the block already has the oil ways for it.

You'll need to install turbo rods as well as your 93 had weaker rods. Once the forged pistons, turbo rods, and oil line is figured out, there is nothing that makes it significantly different than a stock turbo engine so it should hold up to similar abuse.
The head's issue has nothing to do with strength, it's as strong as a turbo head. It just has a different shaped chamber which raises compression and is more likely to create detonation because of the heart shaped chamber creating a hot spot between the valves.
In the end, it is more difficult, time consuming, and expensive to turbo your engine than it is to just drop in a complete turbo engine and drive away. They will both "work" though.

yes make it a distributorless ignition system (sorry my brothers typing)
well i would just pull the pistons and rods out of the turbo motor put them in mine and replace the headgasket piston rings and crank bearings.

Well there is only one npr and that $150 that i could find. question is would it help against detonation?

youd need an ajd. fpr to help the detonation. up the fuel pressure and you should be ok.

The intercooler will help against detonation much better than more fuel pressure.
You already found an NPR as far as I can tell for $150, that's a very good price for one.

You just swap the crank sensor to the turbo engine, drop in the dummy plug that replaces the distributor, and mount the coils. Let me understand this...you would rather: 1) Take a perfectly good running turbo engine, remove from car, rewire harness for turbo ecu and air meter, pull apart, remove pistons/rods, take apart perfectly good 2.3 n/a engine, remove pistons/rods, replace crank bearings, replace rod bearings, check bearing clearances, hone block, install new rings (inferior to original design)/pistons/rods, install head, hope your work is better than Fords original work, drop engine back in, swap the rest of the turbo parts onto n/a engine (turbo, exhaust manifold, intake manifold, injectors, etc.) then hope you break in the rings properly so it doesn't smoke and not seal properly. than to: 2) Remove n/a engine, swap over coils, dummy plug, crank sensor, and drop in turbo engine, rewire harness for turbo ecu and air meter. or 3) Remove n/a engine, drop in turbo engine, rewire harness for turbo ecu and air meter and distributor.
