Ok, I am looking at options here for upgrades and I wanted to know if there is even a difference in keeping the 5sfe 2.2 and maybe swapping the head for a 3sgte (Ofcourse turbos are going to be used) to have the 2.2L or is having a 3sgte doing the 2.2L any different? That's what I really would like to know.

I hope you're not considering this on the train of thought that 2.0 is a downgrade from 2.2. Because a stock 3S-GE or 3S-GTE will both have better power characteristics at any point in the rev range than your 5S-FE.
What your 5S-FE has gained from the extra 200cc, the 3S-GE has gained from high compression and your 3S-GTE has gained from having a very efficient quick spooling CT20b turbo which registers positive pressure from as low as 1500RPM. -------------------- Mike W
