I am new to the whole Celica owners circle. I just baught a 96 Celica GT and I would like to turbo it and I was told that it was not a good idea at all. I dont know what the differances with all the motor codes... ex. 3sgte. and so on. How do I know what mine is? Any suggestions?

just to echo everyone else, search around a little and you'll find all sorts of GT's that have either turbo'ed their 5sfe or swapped in a 3sgte (turbo'ed motor from the gt-4 offered overseas)

btw, for your engine designation:
5 - displacement code (2.2 L)
S - block series
F - head type (F=efficiency G=performance)
T - turbo (z=supercharged)
E - I have no idea what this stands for. 'Engine' maybe?

researching is a must before you dive in head first into something. and this site is a great resource, but by no means is it your only source.
