Good luck finding either one, they were around $1600 before AEM discontinued them.

better off swaping to a 3sgte. yes the gts came with the 3sge but you have higher compression pistons and all the sensors for the NA application. for the price of a turbo kit you could get a turbo motor. and aem ecu was more like 2,000 (i hava one), check out koracing they specialise in mr2 turbos but as we all know the celica and mr both have the 3s series motor in it.

Do your homework 1st, it's not a cheap or easy conversion.
What kit? there isn't any for the 3S-GE

The kit existed at a previous date.
And to Subspec, I'll screenshot the parts catalog, but tax can make the difference.
