So i wanted to know what you guys who are 'In the Know' think about this:
other then engine displacemnt and obvious advantages the 3sgte has i want to know what you guys think is more worth wild. Iv been doing alot of my homework and have basiclly decided on simply swaping my 5s-fe with a 3s-gte, BUT i was wondering what you guys WITH either 3s-gte's or 5s-fte's think about it. What seems more worth is, AND if i were to turbo a 5s-fe how much boost can i push safely with out any internal work? All of your imput would be very helpfull... -------------------- ![]() |

its a matter of what your goals are and how big your pocketbook is.
that about sums it up. high boost more $$ more potential= 3s swap low boost low $$ = 5sfte basicly IMO it breaks down like this: if you ultimately want OVER 200-225WHP and have the $$ then the 3s swap is what you want if your cheap ( or like in my case, just broke..lol) and arnt looking for more than a kick in the pants for your car, then the 5sfte is more likley to be what you want, unless you really wanna spend the money and beef the engine up some. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
