nik, the ultimate plan for me always has been to swap...the 5sfte was just a stop along the way.
i just wanted to see how i could "refine" the setup a bit and learn about how everything worked. and i did. >>
its been fun, but if all goes as planned, ill be getting my 3s mid november, working on it over winter, and swapping in the spring.

sweet guys. i appreciate the help. yeah the 5sfte was fun im glad i tried it. realized i wanted a fast car >> so yeah i just think the 3sgte is a better idea to build on.
i still think a BUILT 5sfte would be awesome. but its just so much money. ud need stand alone just to get the thing to run. thats money i dont have >>

no prob john its all good man.
i agree about the 5sfte project, theyre great fun, and awesome to learn from.
but when its time to get serious, your just plain better off starting with the 3s. >>

more power to you guys the 3s is the way to go... The 5sfe turbo is good because you need to have a low boost turbo car, befor you get a stock turbo with a power plant like the 3s-gte...
