3s-GTe Vs. 5s-FtE, over played topic but i got to ask.. Options

[Dtown_GT]

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...

If ur looking for a decent power gain, just turbo ur GT. It doesn't take nearly as long as a full swap. And if the celi is ur only car, like me, you'll need it pretty much everday. At least with the turbo, if u need to take it out, play around with it, and put it back in, it only takes a few hours, since all ur taking out is the turbo.

Now if ur looking to totally OWN other cars, and willing to spend the dough to fully beef up the 3sgte to its full potential, then go that route. Just keep in mind the time it takes to disconnect, remove, and reconnect the entire engine and connecting "noodles".

Process/simplicity of turbo= pacemaker
Process/simplicity of swap= entire heart transplant

Keep in mind neither options are flawless. People have done both and failed with both. On the other hand, people have done both and been successful. It all comes down to time and money, and your personal goals u want to achieve. It took me a year, an extra turbo, and a rebuilt turbo to get my setup fully completed.
