Sadly that's not a tuning solution That's how you blow up a 5s.

That also doesn't have a way of tuning timing, so you were running on the stock timing tables which are too aggressive for forced induction.

Going 3S will only be worth it if you leave it stock, but if you plan on upgrading without getting an ECU to tune for the upgrades you'll blow it too and then it'll just be a more expensive blown engine. Just some advice

What do you plan on doing with the 5S stuff (engine parts and etc)?

well that hasn't bin my problem with the 5s air fuel ratio ran 11 on 5 psi all day every day it was just that the millage is getting up there ....over 200.000 and i had a problem with the head gasket because i had boost spike a couple time over 25 psi because of my wastegate sticking .. /// not planing on doing much with the 5sfe so i can get rid of it
