$2500 burning a hole in my pockets, looks, performance, or sound? Options

[Redline_Racer]

I am the new owner of a 95 celica gt hatchback, I just sold my truck and I have $2500 to spend on my celica. I want to buy a Turbo, what size should I put in, and would I have to bullet proof the block or is it strong enough as is.
Or maybe I should spend it on some custom graphics and a body kit w/wing?

Or hell maybe even a system?

I even thought about a 3s-gte engine swap but I dont think I want to go that far, or maybe I should. You guys are the experts, Tell me what you think.


Thanks in advance for your help,

-Brandon

All depends where your priorities are. If you want to build up an insanely fast fwd car think about the 3sgte, I don't think 2500 will be enough when all said and done though.
If you want a nice boost go with the turbo, I personally think its cheaper and even if you do blow the engine learn from your mistakes and 5sfe engines arn't that difficult to come by and you can just reuse the turbo equipment, but if you feel your car is fast enough or you see no reason to go fast since if its your daily driver
Think about other things like a new paint job (if your existing one is bad) wheels, interior make over or whatever else intrigues you.
