5sfe Turbo Manifold Question, sorry if this is a repost Options

Celi-guys,
I'm new to the Celica world and to this website. Not to turbos though... I've been running DSMs since I had my license. It says in the 5sfe walkthrough that you use a 4th gen ST185 exhaust manifold to turbo the car. If thats the case, can you use a ST185 Alltrac turbo upgrade kit.... like Blitz? Meaning larger turbo and possible better flowing exhaust manifold. I just think that I'll spend about the same amount of money on purchasing NEW 4th-gen ST185 parts over the Blitz upgrade. So why not go that route. Please slap me if i'm being naive on the subject. Thanks.

Edit:I mean 5th gen ST185 - I had a blonde moment

94Toy,
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't mind doing a 3S-GTE swap, however... I'm really not knowledgable at the subject. I've turbo'd N/A cars and built up quite a few engines in my life, but i've never done an engine swap. I have some Honda buddies that are obsessed in the subject, like dropping stroked 2.2's into CRX's. However, after watching them it seems harder than it looks. How does the AWD tranny work in the picture; do I have to change my tach and speedo; how do all the warning lights work... like check engine etc. These may be newbie questions but as I said.. I've never done an engine swap. I'm willing to try though
