I heard from some others guys on another Celica Forum website that putting a turbo on the 2.2 5SFE isnt good for the engine. They said something about the valves and stuff. They recommended swapping for an All-Trac engine.

Yup ..... turbo can be done to the 2.2l 5sfe, but swapping in the already turbo'ed 3sgte (from AllTrac Celi or MR2 turbo) is a more reliable build. Mucho info on this can be found at celicatech.com

There are plenty of people who have reliably turbo'ed their GTs with powerful results.

Just have to be easy on boost psi to keep teh bottom end from leting loose! The Turbo engine has a MUCH beefer bottom end and forged internals!

The 3sgte does NOT have forged internals.
