Hello. I have a 95 Celica GT with auto trans. The body is rust free, and in really pretty good shape as well as the interior. I really would like to get the most horsepower out of it, and right now the only mod.(if you can call it that) is K&N cone air filter. It has 111,000 original miles, and runs well. Besides headers, and a few other small mods, is it worth putting a turbo in, or am I better off doing an engine swap for say an MR2 turbo engine, or Altrac engine. I would like to stay in budget, so am planning accordingly. Also, I have never done an engine swap, so would rather have a certified mechanic do it. Anyone that you recommend? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

turboing the 5S-FE is just as easy as turboing a honda. in fact mechanically its identical. tuning is the only difference.
