Like Box said, the only MR2 with a Supercharger was the 1984 - 1989 First gen IF it had the 4A-GZE motor. The 3S-GTE is turbo charged. There was no supercharger made for that engine. Also, there were no 3rd gen 3S-GTE engines sold in the US. 93 was the last year for the US Celica having a 3SGTE and 95 for the MR2 (that's because they stopped importing the MR2 to the US after 95). Bot vehicles had a 2nd gen in them.
I have heard of people putting the 4A-GZE into a Celica, but besides having it for novelty reasons, I wouldn't recommend it. It is not as reliable as many of your other choices both because the engine itself is that way and because of it's age. It doesn't have much more power than a 5S-FE, and it is hard to find parts for. The only benefit would be that it will bolt up to your ST transmission. Also, because of the age, 9 out of 10 of a 3S-GTE you find in a junk yard in the US most likely has VERY high mileage and has been ridden harder than my best friends sister (that's funny if you knew her). -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

Hmm... that means either she's a whore, or it's ironic and she's abstinent.
