Does anybody know how much boost the 5sfe can take. Im am seriously thinking about getting turbo on my car and i dont want to blow it up. How much would be a same daily running. My car has almost 100k on it. would it be wise to put on a turbo without a overhaul on my engine. I dont want to get rid of my engine for a 3sgte, I want to keep my gt a gt. It is a sentimental thing. I just couldnt part with my 5sfe.
 also i have an automatic, will it be able to handle the extra boost?

And also, sorry to second post, but honestly boost doesn't hurt the 5sfe too bad. Just don't push it over 230HP....maybe you can go to 250. I wouldn't even consider boosting the 5sfe unless you get a composite metal head gasket. You need this to lower compression and it will make the engine take up to 10psi pretty comfortably.
