You guys are arguing based on opinion...
Lagos... Hyde has a lot of mods done... His is the highest boost levels I've heard of with the stock block... so I am impressed... but the money he's put in along with his means of doing things (very fuel safe) makes your argument weak. It's not within comparison to a 5SFTE. Apples and Oranges... I have a couple of buddies in town that build MR2 turbos for a living, and from my experience... I don't think boosting a stock block 3SGTE like that is a very good idea... I've seen 3SGTE's fry pistons at pretty modest boost levels... but I'm open to the idea. I just would like for you not to take some dude's word for it so easily. Let me put it this way... would you max out the boost on your car and drive it daily? Again lagos... I'm not arguing whether or not a 5SFE is as strong as a 3SGTE... that's a no brainer. I'm just saying... most people boost their cars to modest levels (10psi max?) and that no way justifies the idea that "they wasted their time" and "they should have done a swap"... Like I mentioned before... how many Celica people who have swapped 3SGTEs have built up their 3SGTEs? Not many if any... people who have problems with custom turbos almost always take shortcuts... but that doesn't mean it'll happen so long as you're safe about it. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
