yea make sense, never started this thread to make it a REAL VS of which is better, more of a VS for comparison of differences or similarities.

Once we wander away from 6gc.net, we see that the 4th gen has proven to be just as capable as a 3rd gen. Which begs the question, why argue in favor of one motor or the other? Both are great choices. Both swaps are simple enough. Both give you a 2 liter turbocharged engine that is dead reliable, gives 300 whp all day, and bolts right in. Neither is superior to the other, but they both have slight benefits over each other.
So, why in a thread that is an informative thread about the 4th gen, has a pissing contest started between 3S owners? It's just a matter of personal preference, nothing worth arguing over.
I personally prefer the 4th gen for a few reasons, just the same as many prefer a 3rd gen. For me, the BEAMS has me spoiled. It's self contained (in the sense of just buying the engine/harness/ECU and that I need) so the 4th gen appeals to me for its similarity. Nothing against the 3rd gen, just what I prefer.
*This post is in no way directed at anyone here. Just referring to the inevitable argument about an essentially similar motor.
