Celica engines...

Hi,
Just wondering first off...which would be a better pick for an engine? the 3SFE or 5SFE...like...Coz I've got a 3SFE in my ST184...and I'm just wondering if I should be worried about having a 3S in my car...? Like...yeah...I guess...in terms of tunability and stuff...he he...and I've heard from some places that Turbo'ing a naturally Aspirated motor might be good for the car...like...at first I was put off by stuff on this forum about modifying my engine...and I was thinking of just waiting a few years...get a few years under my belt and then get a GT4...but...yeah...?
Coz the latest Hot4s was saying about...well...I'll quote it..."there'd have to be a really good reason for such a curious conversion and the simple answer is torque...Because of that high compression ratio, low-down grunt is phenomenal and the gobs of pulling power last well into the midrange too." Basically it's an S14 with a NA SR20DE that's been turbo'ed...like...is it just because money isn't an object...or just specifically for the SR20 motor...or...? Well...anyway...thanks for that...I'm all new to this and you guys have been REALLY helpful...thanks.
