*sorry if in wrong section, its a GE engine with GTE electronics I want so I dont know which section to put it in lol*

So basically I have a 1987 76k original Mileage NA 5 speed supra, I was planning on selling it for a 05 STI but lately I have been going back to the car lol but anyways. I don't want to do a swap because it would feel like a waste of a low mileage engine to put in a probably rebuilt GTE engine. So I want to do a GE-T with GTE electronics so I have a couple questions:
1. To those who did the change, was it worth it power wise? is it possible to run low 13's on a GE-T?What about reliability?
2. I plan on just buying another Supra Turbo and just using that as the parts car instead of having to source everything, does it matter if it has a BHG? there are alot of cheap Turbos in the area with like 130k miles and BHG's so they only cost around 1500 lol.
3. If I keep the W58 transmission will I get problems? I don't aim to go above 350HP, and also will it be alright to get a aluminum driveshaft if I keep the W58?
4. When I buy the "parts" Supra what is a good idea to look out for electronic wise?
5. Will a 7mget with full exhaust system, downpipe, ct26 with 57 trim, MHG, Intake, Lexus AFM, 550C injectors and raised boost and a tune be able to take out a stage 2 STI lol

I would buy another Supra Turbo but honestly, I like mine lol

Even at 76000 miles thats quite a bit of miles for a 7m, so in reality if you want it to be reliable especially shooting for those figures you should rebuild the engine anyways. So you might as well buy one of the turbo supras in your area and just fix a bhg on the turbo engine and get that running. and shit if the body is in better shape than yours than part out your N/A. Otherwise just swap over all the turbo stuff including the engine into your N/A body. Thats probably you're best bet it'll be cheaper and alot more reliable shooting for those horsepower figures.

Of course that is my opinion...
