Default RE: 2.3L turbo????

possibly the stock turbo on ford 2.3l over heats, put intercooler on it, don't think they have them on stock turbo, idk, could go wit a ram air hood. ford alum heads have tendency to crack easly too, prob not related to this post but thought i say sumtin. your guess is as good as mine at this point.
