the 5sfe is like playing legos to me. you only need to bolt things on.
alot less work. imo. having done both
(twice on the 5sfte lol cause of my lack of money to afford a good turbo, i did my 5sfte setup before we had any major write-ups on it also, eveyhting i did was just a notion people had about the 5s over at celica.net),
weve learned alot more about the 5s and the proper way to turbo it also.
the 3sgte swap took alot longer.
and def worth it over the 5s in reliability/power and now i have a better platform for building more power down the line.

id say save your money and swap if you want a longer powerband and a motor designed with performance in mind.
