Difference between the Corsair turbo and the Ranger turbo?
I could be wrong here but since no one else has chimed in. I believe the Corsair is the same size housing with a bigger or just better impeller inside. And the ranger is a slightly different bigger housing with the bigger impeller. There may be oiling differences as well. You should be able to look back through fast Mavericks and Dueces threads for better info.

Thanks! I just saw that there were separate listings for the rebuilds and it just made me question a difference otherwise why the need
The Ranger 2.3 and Corsair 2.3 are both 46mm. So internally they are the same. The difference is the exhaust housing on the Ranger turbo is a little shorter so the turbo sits higher up on the block. The exhaust flange is also slightly different which is why a different downpipe is needed (and almost complete). Also, the wastegate is flipped up on the Ranger while the Corsair is facing down like the Maverick.
The advantage and reason why I offer the Ranger version is cost. A new Ranger turbo is about $700 plus core while Corsair is $1100 plus core. You can find tons of used Ranger turbos for 3-400 while you have better luck winning the lotto than finding a used 2.3 Corsair.
FWIW, I have a Ranger turbo and Downpipe on my truck. I’m in the process of building a batch of Ranger downpipes for pending orders.
One important thing to remember is that the wastegate plug is the same, but to run Ranger turbo on the Mav, plug 1 and 2 on the wastegate harness need to be swapped.
I hope that answers your questions.
