Is there any major differences between a rev5 & a rev3 turbo?

Except the spoiler and the alloys?

Nothing mechanically really, mostly cosmetic.

rev5s have the revised block....
thicker around the water pump area

so technically the strongest mr2 block....

revised ABS
i heard even the LSD is different? (cant confirm that tho)

rest is cosmetic

alloys, dials, redstiched gearknob and steering wheel, plate sills, spoiler, front bumper speed flaps, clear sidelights (tho this maybe rev4?)

think thats about it.

The sidelights and revised braking are rev4 differences. But they are still valid as they are different between a rev3 and a rev5 ;)
