well i just recently got my 94 celica gt from a guy who put like 2hundred grand miles...on it but yeah i was looking around and it seems like everybody is doing a gt4 swap with the 3sgte and i was woundering if anybody have ever thought or done a caldina 3sgte swap it make like 260hp..

it has coil packs... not anything thats better or worse, and you can add it to any car later on if you really want it. the intake manifold is a little different so that it mates up with the new (useless) intercooler, no benefit there

I recently sold my Caldina GT4 clip because the wiring was just to difficult to find someone in Tx who could do it right. However - I did take the clip somwhat apart and the other reason I didn't use it was cause so many of the parts were different from the 3rd gen and therefore would be too difficult to obtain replacements for.
The Intake manifold is a much better flowing design than the side feed style 3rg gen one. Also the Turbo was way different and would not bolt up to anything but the Caldina head.
Strange little differences that added up to to much for me.
But it was definetly an improved design - except the top mount air to air - sux.
