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

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?

I just heard how much of a pain a 3SGTE swap is going to be from someone in a different 6 Gen forum

How well can the stock engines on these Celicas handle boost? Do you guys recommend boosting a stock Celica even though internals arent forged? How about that 4A-GZE engine? You guys recommend boosting that even though the owner of this website said it would be "wiser" to go for a 3SGTE?

True or False, the 3S-GE and the 4A-GZE are direct swaps unlike the 3SGTE where you have to?
