Rangers are fairly light, and that 6 pounds of boost may seem like enough to really wake the motor up, but it starts to seem kind of lame when you consider that the turbo motors were putting out 15 psi stock and the early models were capable of around 25 psi with not much more than a $25 eBay manual boost controller.
The 1984-86 turbo 2.3s came with a Garrett T3 which was capable of more boost than the later models which used an IHI turbo that was not quite as desirable. BUT, the later models did come with intercoolers which are a favorable item to have of course but not in its stock location (on top of the hot engine).. FMIC is far better choice and desired.
As for wiring and ECU, depending on what engine you ended up with. I would think leaving the stock truck wiring would be an asset and then repin/rewire specifics from there but ideally the original harness should suffice.
As far as the ECU, I think either a Haltech or there is/was a piggyback I think called somewhat appropriately as PIMP..
