Thinking of buying a Celica, anyone got advice, Need info, want to be future owner, Options

[Total_Package]

I am a owner of a MAzda MX3 GS (1993)
I am going to sell it and am very intrested in Celicas. I was thinking of going with a Integra but there are too many out on the street. I like my cars being more unique then the average Honda, Eclipse or Mustang... thats why I bought a MX3

I got some questions:

1.) Do both cars (Sts and GTs) use the same engine/tranny?
2.) Any popular engine swaps?
3.) Is it hard to get these cars into the 14s?
4.) How well can they handle boost? Like, how many PSI?
5.) What are the common problems for these cars?
6.) Are parts easy to find?
7.) Would it be hard to find a 6G Celica for $3,500?
8.) How much power can the engines and transmissions on the 6G Celicas handle?

1.) Do both cars (Sts and GTs) use the same engine/tranny? no
2.) Any popular engine swaps? 4age, and 3sge or 3sgte (Both are actual motors used in 6g celicas if you can find one or do a swap)
3.) Is it hard to get these cars into the 14s? If you have a regular ST
4.) How well can they handle boost? Like, how many PSI? not sure ask the ones who have turbo.
5.) What are the common problems for these cars? Figuring out which style you want, J/J, none really.
6.) Are parts easy to find? They aren't as easy but everyone on this site could tell you everything you need to know. Trust me, I couldn't find anything till I joined here.
7.) Would it be hard to find a 6G Celica for $3,500? maybe, maybe not, it depends if you can snatch up a good deal but it is possible.
8.) How much power can the engines and transmissions on the 6G Celicas handle? Ask the guys here with the beams motors, gt-fours, or with turbos, look at their profiles.
