DZracer987,

Techhically yes, you can equip the 3SGE with forced induction. It depends on what market we are talking about, is your vehicle a ST202, ST203, ST204, as well
which variant / generation of 3SGE you have. The 3SGE has a much higher compression ratio, then that of the 3SGTE. Technically speaking you could run a low pressure
forced indcution set up. However there are both mechanical limits and as well engine-management aspects that need to be kept in mind and in check.

It is important to understand more about what you are attempting to achieve. You want to have response, and a flexable powerband, having some sloppy power creator
might seem ideal, but it also has adverse consequences. Often times huge and undesirible compromise.

Why is it that you feel you need a turbo? The 3SGE is very capable. Last but not least, having a reliable power-plant is more important then un-reliable and mildly faster.
Remember what is pragmatic for a race car is not always pragmatic for a road car.

Regards,
Mick
