what can i get more hp out of? i was looking through the faqs but couldn't find any thing about which is better. now i seem to find more people getting the swap but wouldn't the 5sfte have more due to the bigger engine? i know it is only slightly bigger (3sgte 2.0L and 5sfte 2.2L) but still bigger.

Well seeing as how one of the fastest supras in the world has a 3sgte and the 3s is actually made to be turbo.... ide go there. Just ask the 5s guys how many little things tend to go rong with their set ups. Drive your car how it is. Then buy an engine stand and then buy a 3sgte and leave it in your garage for a year and dump $$$ into it and work on it.... then when that day comes along, swap the motor... and hang on.
