you have a st165 that doesnt leak oil....

i do not belive you......

Lets say the "engine" doesn't leak any oil

Have you actually looked at the back of the block?

yer. Cam cover seals replaced about 20ks ago. But is wasn't leaking down the back of the engine like you often see. There was a crack in the front cover seal, facing forwards on the engine, onto the turbo heat shield. Front main seal was weeping a little so replaced when cambelt was done at about 200ks

It would be nice to have the low end power from the 3S-GE, but would it not even out at the mid range (where a 3s-gte would be getting close to full factory boost)

You do know that a 3SGTE makes more torque lower in the rev range than a 3SGE right? Also full boost is available before 3000rpm. I'd rather the low end power of a 3SGTE than the low end "power" of a 3SGE.

Maybe I should rephrase that to 3S-GE+T which I assume would have alot better pickup from a lazy 2000 rpm punch than a 3S-GTE would due to the high compression and the quick spoolup of a small sized turbo required for just a small 7psi or so.

All this aside... It's all totally irrelevant when the standard engine and standard ct20b turbo in a ST205 GT4 has enough low down grunt to kick the rear out on brand new RE001 Potenza tyres, Imagine what a 3S-GE+T would do to a FWD, Let alone one without LSD.
