sweet guys. i appreciate the help. yeah the 5sfte was fun im glad i tried it. realized i wanted a fast car
so yeah i just think the 3sgte is a better idea to build on.i still think a BUILT 5sfte would be awesome. but its just so much money. ud need stand alone just to get the thing to run. thats money i dont have

more power to you guys the 3s is the way to go... The 5sfe turbo is good because you need to have a low boost turbo car, befor you get a stock turbo with a power plant like the 3s-gte...
