should i make my 5SFE to a 5SFTE?? i have 154,000 miles and its not abused and i only drive to work, and friends houses and rarely school 5 min away....i learned how to do the whole turboing my 5SFE, and its cheaper and easier than gettin a GT4 clip and swappin parts....i at least want 270 h.p. with a 5SFE, i heard its possible, but how much potential can i have on moddin my engine??
in your honest opinion, should a mod and turbo my engine since im low on cash, or GT4 clip and have all that chaos? |

Manny did 235WHP @ 13ish ? psi
That's right around 270 CHP , you know that ? 150k miles is high, do an OEM rebuild if you're serious new piston rings, bottom end bearings, oil pump , water pump , timing belt , head gasket, valve stem seals it would probably be cheaper to buy a low milage used 5sfe and turbo it on an engine stand and just swap it in later... -------------------- 2005 MB C200 Kompressor- K&N, Apexi WS2 Catback, DIY Voltage stabilizer, Intrax Springs, H&R RR swaybar, VDO Boost Gauge @ 6psi, Greddy L7 plugs, +0 Rear tires
