I say Turbo cause for me that is the best option... I can install the turbo myself in one day once i have all the parts... I'll be able to still pass emissions and if i don't i can just pull the turbo out and make the car N/A again...i'll also be about to get a turbo and the rest of the part for a lot less then i could get a jdm engine... and i'm not out to make crazy hp anything more then 200 is to much for me.. i just want a little more kick then what i already have.

hahaha this is funny. I am doing the 5sfTe my self but either is a good way to go. You have to just remember you cant just throw it all on your car and call it a day. Any setup takes months of planing and researching before you should even pop the hood. The 3sgte is a beast and that is why it can hold more boost (it was built for it). The 5sfe can also hold boost well. The thing with the 5sfe is there is almost no room for error. You have to spend the money to properly tune the engine or detonation will kill your engine in no time. I think the 3sgte people should take a look at what it takes to turbo the 5sfe to gain some knowladge of the pros and cons. So they know more than "It never works" "The motor will blow". And in turn all of the 5sfte/7afTe people should do the same.
This site doesn't need its members at each others throuts because there is a difference in someones views. We are healping no one this way. If say I knew as much about the 3sgte swap as I do about the 5afTe and NEVERSTOP knew the same about the 5sfTe just think about how much more information we could provide.
1 thing I do believe is that you shouldn't knock it until you have tried it. 5sfeturbo, you have been reading and asking questions but you still have not turbo'ed your car right? Please atleast give NEVERSTOP the benifit of atempting one or the other.

Nicely put

and I have turboed N/A motors before... so I know the benifits of stock turboed motors and N/A's with turbos... granted I have not turboed a N/A Celica motor before but I can draw my own conclusions based on my personal experince.

NEVERSTOP running your mouth do you?
You must have a complex in which you feel that your actions or words are always justifiable, and you show your obsessiveness for making sure your reply was justified with that utterly pointless reply(mocking my every sentence) I am glad your a genius no really thats comendable. But dont jump to conclusions, on my 1st response to this post(repeating myself) I was not talking directly to you or at you, but some geniuses have flaws or close to geniuses I should say. Yes you may have a swap, good job, but 98% of us dont and reccomend it whole knocking the stock motors. But this is getting tireing, reply with what you want here Im done.

By the way I had no issues with you before you replied back with what you though was a flamming on my part(which again was not)

Later.

Please just give it up man, If I sound like I have a "complex" to use your words it is because I have spent the majority of my life building cars the right way.. I honestly cant count the number of cars I have help build... so it irrates me when someone with *how long ago was it that the damn movie come out???* experince trying to tell me whats what... so stop.

If you wanna turbo your car GO AHEAD just pay attention to what you are doing and make sure you have everything 1st.. do your homework... and 6months later or so I dont wanna hear a peep outta you when you mess up your motor cuz you rushed it and missed something.
