Well starting with a remaned engine is always better than used. But the 5SFE internals are not meant for a turbo application. You will still be rebuilding/replacing down the road.

If you plan to hang on to the 5sfTe for a while, I'd get a used 5S and rebuild it with 3SGTE (or other turbo) internals. It will last you much longer.

I was going to but no internals yet. Thats why I thought the reman might be good If im not running a crazy psi I should be ok for awhile. I would like to get to the internals next year I got to much other stuff going on know. I have 2500 to work with for know and im going from a 7afe to the 5sfte and im doing all the labor myself so my cash is all for parts.
