hey just wondering what you guys think, is 157,000 miles on a 7AFE to late to turbo , or should i invest in a rebuild 3SGTE swap. ?
let me know ... -------------------- How far can it take you. The real question is. How far are you willing to go ?

I have a similar question. My 5sfe has 150,000 (almost 151 now!) and I want to turbo it, but I'm not sure about it... I mean, the engine runs fine now, but I don't want to drop a couple grand into an engine for a turbo only to blow it within a couple thousand miles because of the added stress. could it take it? or would rebuilding it or buying a new 5sfe be my only real option for turbo-ing?
