3s-ge vs 3s-gte into RA2x

Hi,
First of all can anyone tell me if the latest celicas come with the 3s-ge vvti motors?
Second can anyone offer some experience on these engines? I can get a front cut celica (late model) for about $800 and I want to see it is possible to fit that into an RA2x celica, and what needs to be done.
Thirdly are there many differences between the 3s-ge and 3s-gte bottom end (I understand that there is no vvti 3s-gte, is that right?)
Lastly, you reckon this would be a good mod or a waste of time and money. 200hp sounds pretty good in an RA2x but I will want more one day with some forced intake so what needs to be done and how far can you take these babies on a mid-budget?

If ur going to try this mod save abit more and install the 3sgte. Other wise u will have to rewire the car again when u put the turbo on, as the harness is different. And u will also have to get another engineers cert.

The 3S into TA22/RA23 topic has been discussed over and over again on these forums. Please save us the repitition and search for the old threads.
In summary though, it's a major project and not for the faint of heart. If you're going to all that effort you'd be silly not to install the turbo engine to make it worth your while.
