You will find lots of infomation about 5sfte's on the board here. Search for 5sfte or turbo 5sfe. Just treat the 16G like a bigger turbo like a t3/t04 on the 5sfe which means you will need larger injectors and tuning. Is worth the headache? That depends on you and your skills. If you want a turnkey or bolt-on solution then no. It is going to involve some fabrication and will absolutely need to be tuned with a piggyback or EMS.

What? 5sfe blocks have been used in 700+rwhp cars. People have made amost 300rwhp on completely stock bottom ends. If you blow one up it is because you didn't have adequate fuel control.
