My tuner (Dick) has a pretty wild 3T. He's using a turbo off a 12A engine and is pushing 24psi (he doesn't have a wastegate).
The engine internals are completely STOCK. He's never opened the cam cover. I think the intake and exhaust manifolds are stock too, just an adapter for the turbo.
He is however a car-computer tuner, and has such put on an extra 4 LARGE injectors, and has twin fuel tanks, one Methanol.
Last dyno day, after not driving the car for 2 years except to get a pink slip, he drove it over to the dyno. Took it around the block and thought it sounded like it was pinging, so he switched to methanol and put it on the dyno for a 166rwkw run(not huge, but it hadn't been driven for 2 years!).
He's currently got my old T04E and is looking at putting it on (again without a wastegate). If he doesn't install it before next dyno day, I'll push him to tune what he's got now (at the risk of my own life as I'll probably have to sit next to him when he does it)
3T-GTEUs are very capable of 225rwkw. If your going to bullet-proof the bottom end, and tune it correctly, with a nice new ball bearing turbo it'll be very reliable and very powerful, and with the new BB turbo will have a great power band.
After going through an engine change, I wouldn't want to do it again (not even for a late model 2J-T). I think you should stick with your 3T.
If you want Dick's details, gimme a PM. He LOVES the 3T engines.
