Hello 6gc! The time is finally here for me to do a engine swap but i am torn between which to get, 3sgte or beams? Im leaning towards 3sgte as I really wanna go turbo but I cant find a good thread that explains the 3sgte swap process. Will putting a 3sgte motor be to much hassle or should beams be the best choice? anything helps of now...

If you have a GT, it won't be much hassle at all. There's a TON of swap threads on this forum.
Just search. I believe there's even a full write up on the process in the stickies.
