Hypothetical discussion here (and I tried using the search so bugger off)
What does the best and brightest think about engine performance if you drop the turbo off a 3SGTE? Assume you can boost the compression ratio easily enough and you assume you can run a stand alone ECU (something open source, mega squirt, angry hamster + wheel)? -------------------- -Mike

It weighs less than the 3S-GTE and about the same as the 5S, Smaay has exact numbers I think but don't hold me to that. The only 3S-GTE you could run in and get all parts for, maybe, is the second generation and it has 200 hp with the turbo. Plus it's more involved of a swap than you'd think, so definitely look into the V6. Everyone that's done it here have been very happy with it, plus with Smaay, Lamont, and Kurt every little detail is covered.
