Its costly. 3SGTE mounts directly into the 5SFE Engine because the engine mounts are the same. ST's have a 7AFE and our Engine mounts are different. In order to get the 3SGTE to mount into an ST, you would need a GT Axle, GT Engine Mounts and a GT Transmission. The stock ST Axle would snap, the Engine Mounts are different, and our Transmission is worse than a 12 spd bicycle. So ontop of Cost for the 3SGTE Clip and Swap Installation, you would need to salvage those GT Parts and Install those as well.

TRUE, TRUE that's why i'm still running around with ST (Freaken GEO Prism engine)
i have read that is good for every 6g celica engine would it fit to my 3s-ge vvt-i? if so can i order it to come in cyprus?
Who the hell would pay $4k for that turbo kit? Its retarded, I don't know how much all that stuff cost but i doubt it was more than $2500. Honestly you would have to be autistic to find that to be a good deal.
Ok, a Black top 4a clip will run me about 2grand. THEN, I would have to install or have all of it installed. Maybe another 2 grand? I think that's the best choice. Plus, the 7a redlines at about 6100, not much room to make major power.
