can someone fill me in on, apart from the turbo, what is it exactly that makes the 3sgte so much faster than the 5sfe?

The differences in internal parts can be changed easily, the real difference is in the head design. First they are both DOHC, but the 3s has 2 cam gears while the 5s has 1 cam gear and the exhaust (or intake, i can't remember) is a slave to the other. The other big difference is the angle between the valves. On the 3s the valve angle is 45 degrees and on the 5s it is 22 (or something like that). The internals in the 3s are not forged, they are hypertectic. The other difference is the obvious displacement, but the reason for the power difference is because of the valve angle.
