i know performance parts for ST are limited...(unless im wrong then please let me know). what would be a better deal...building my st engine internally and dropping a custom turbo kit...or doing an engine swap? i know the 3sgte or a gt4 is alot of money and work...would it be advisble to swap a gt engine and drop a turbo kit already made for the gt...or should i just go for the swap? thankx

okay here's the thing, its all about preference and amount money and reliability. Don't go for 5sfe and turbo thats the same amount of work as 3sgte with no where near the gain. turbo st is wut i'm personally going for one day but most would tell u for reliability just go with 3sgte it will cost more in begining but less in long term and once again the power is no were near the same. So in all if u got the money and the will go for 3sgte.

and if you dont have a lot of my money just turbo the st for now and later on swap the 3sgte in


--------------------
yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
