so in you guys experience what is better or more fun to use when it comes to turbo? It can be from any standpoint relible,less work to keep running,better performance, availibility, wich one blows easier? Feel free to just add your .02 cents personal experiences and even time slips.

QUOTE(NuclearHappineS @ Jan 3, 2008 - 7:24 AM) [snapback]627747[/snapback] a 2.2 liter stroked 3sgte ok, so continuing with turboing the 5s, ive seen a couple of guys put in aftermarket camshafts, forged pistons, etc. I have almost 160 in my car, i will have the engine rebuilt soon for turbo. But i would like to make the engine stronger. What is the major weakness of the 5s that can be dealt with aftermarket parts. Or is it just a waste of money and no matter what you do the engine still is weak? Anybody with an input? lets say investing no more than 3 to 4 k in preparing the engine.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
