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?

Rught on Charlie. And that's why it all depends on your situation. You can boost pretty cheaply and get 200...maybe 225 hosies out of 5sfte...without upgrading much besides adding the turbo and then metal head gasket and forged pistons. If you wanna go any higher, it would be cheaper to go with 3sgte.
