how about .. NO?

comon not the 3s talk again. a turbo for the stock motor has many benifits and is cheaper.

The 3s swap will cost at least 5k and many hours to get it installed right.. and then you still might run into problems.

The turbo kit will cost around 3k and that is with all the nessary acessories to make it run perfect. I think you can even fit in some dyno tune time under the 3k budget.

I agree but have become very neutral on both subjects.

It all depends on your goals. Both settups can make 250-300 HP. The 5sfTe will most likely max out at 250 where as the 3sgte will go 300 (Maybe). Id say anything more is a waste for a front wheel drive car.

$3000 will build a VERY strong 5sfTe or $3000 will get you a foot in the door when doing the 3sgte swap.

Its all what you would rather do and/or what your able to do.
