The regular 2.3's and the T/C 2.3's are funmentally the same, however there are several important differances

T/C 2.3's have lower compression forged pistons, forged cranks, different intakes, differnt exhaust manifold, differnt eletronics, different injectors, exc.

You CAN put a turbo on a normal 2.3, you I'm not sure how long it would last at even stock boost levels under hard driving condions. However, with about 5-6psi(intercooled) and if you don't beat on it constantly, it should be pretty reliable and should perk the motor up a good bit, however it will never make the 190hp the T/C is rated at or the 205 the SVO is rated at.
