The 3sge is the engine for the older model Celica (st165) and the 3sgte is the engine for the 1 generation newer Celicas (st185) right?
I guess 170,000kms for a turbo rebuild is quite normal. Heard the same thing about RX7s. Except the Engine rebuilds are also at about 170,000kms. Durabilities of rotaries.....
Would most people do rebuilds at workshops? How much did it cost you for your rebuild?
330,000km on your old 3sge befored it died is pretty good for a performance car. What is the factory boost for a factory Gt4 (st185) and what boost would you recommmend to enjoy both long term reliability and power.
According to the Redbook, the weight of the MR2s are about 200kg lighter than the Gt4s. Having the same engine, the MRs will be significantly faster off the lights. Have you ever tried taking your time for 0-100km/h?

the 3sge was in the n/a fwd celica i owned before i baught my gtfour. ill add that the only reason it died is because i ran it without oil for a week thrashing the fuck out of it....long story...first car...young and stupid...ect ect.
a rebuild i would do myself with help from a mate with a bit of experience...after being quoted 2 grand to have my big end bearings replaced in my old n/a celica theres NO way in the world that i would pay a mechanic for a full rebuild and then worry that they cut corners or forgot stuff or just rushed the job...id rather do it myself, save a few grand...and id have the peace of mind knowing that it was done properly...i dont have much faith in most mechanics at all.
as for boost and reliability, the gtfours run 5psi in 1st and 2nd and 7 psi in 3rd and above standard, my st165 is currently running 12 psi and has been for 20,000 odd k's now and its running better than when i baught it, showing no signs of trouble. toyotas are built tough as nails...service and maintian them properly and they will never do you wrong 
as for the 0-100 here is a vid of 10-150 in my gtfour @ about 11 psi on a hot day...

not performing its best but it gives u an idea anyway, im not sure how this compares to other gtfours. but im under the impression the 165 is a tad quicker than the standard 185.
