Do you want to tune the car and squeeze every bit out of it? Or do you want something to run like factory and go fairly fast? If you want to first then do the 5s turbo. If you want factory and fast do the 3sgte. Advantage of the 3sgte no need to tune. Advantage of the 5s turbo very torquey bottom end power.

I have had both and if I were to do it all over again I would have done the 5s turbo right with a some what built 5s. I was sick of tuning and figured the 3s swap would be easier, later on finding out you are soo limited with the factory computer. If you like tinkering around with your car do the 5s turbo. besides with the 5s turbo you don't have to yank your motor out, unless you plan on doing maintenance.
