Go with the 3rd gen 3S. The wiring is much simpler. You'll have to do some minor wire work but that is all discussed in detail in the Forced Induction forum. The S54 trans from the GT is generally accepted as being fine up to around 300 hp and after that, you should use the E153 trans from an MR2 or Camry/Solara. The S54 will have a little more torque steer unless you install a limited slip diff.
