I have a stock 3sge and was lookin to put a ct26 onto it (there's one for sale here for 350 with manifold, intercooler etc) im gettin my engine rebuilt in the next couple of months havin heavier cams, stonger rods n pistons etc. but was wondering if i need to get the computer to go with it, or can i run it with the AFM for the moment on low boost? if i do need to get a comp whats a cheap value for money after-market product or a reasonable price to pay for standard or even GrpA?

well 3SGTE's use AFM's stock anyway, but you can't just bolt on a turbo/manifold, intake manifold, and some of the other things you may need, I had the 2 engines sitting in my garage side by side recently, and they are nothing alike, so many differences, it would probably be impossible/a waste of money to try and turbo a 3SGE. IMO, sorry

So many differnces, such as gearbox, clutch upgrades etc, and airbox placement and all of that stuff? Yeah i just thought bout that actually. But buying a front cut and doin that way would be a cheaper and easier option then i guess than having to alter and purchase HD parts hey, might think bout that one - I have plenty of time

cheaper and easier than what you were thinking of doing, but even buying a half cut and if you do all the tranfer work yourself, you may be able to just scrape under the $4000 mark (that includes engineering) that's what it cost me to do anyway.
