Opinions, 5sfte over 3sgte Options

[Legit94GT]

So i am now leaning more towards turboing my 5sfte instead of doing a 3's swap.

Wouldn't the 5 have a great power potential over the 3's because it is a 2.2L and not a 2L?

If i do all the work to turbo it myself, i can use my extra money to stroke the engine, but if i do that would that maybe be to much horse power for the motor?

Has anyone stroked thier engine and what was your gain in hp?
I've seen some posts say for around a $2,500 it make your engine put out around 300hp...

Thanks for the info...

Where is Manny he saw my bill from the shop by me not saying that all shops are like that..but the bill was really really high for getting back a blown motor(this was my first car) It could have been the engine was tired...I dont wanna put all shops down I just dont thinks its good to no what goes on when a car gets a turbo so if something goes wrong they have a lil background. I no its like lagos mostly talkin but I somehow put myself in the convo....

Anyway for the first post i have the 3s and the 5s the 3s has more potential for more power when the 5s is pretty much maxed out...it depends on ur goals imo...but 3s is meant to be turboed so its mostly more reliable not bulletproof but more reliable for more boost.
