The factory 2.3 turbo oil pump is one of the best ever. The pump housing is similar in size to the one installed in large V8s, with lots of volume for the turbo.

Trying to do this on my 1990 hatch, but having a hard time figuring out the wiring and I can't find exact wiring diagram. it has a TFI, square intake, MAF sensor, and 4 pin o2 sensor. just wondering, since your fox is a 90 as well, if the wiring was a bit tricky for you? I feel like I'm gonna have to reverse engineer the wiring for this thing.

Probably not. Foxbody’s never came with turbos after 1986. The harness in the junkyard car has either been modified for the turbo setup, or the harness is from a pre 91 car
