Not all Turbo's are universal. Many car makers have turbos made with unique flanges.
If you want to turbo charge a car, first you have to find a exhaust manifold that will mate to the engine. They fall into a couple of aftermarket turbo flange types. Then find a turbo charger that will mate to that manifold. Once that is done then a down comer pipe needs to be found that can be used. This will leave the intake system to be worked out and the plumbing of the blow off, oil, water (if needed) and waste gate. A inter cooler makes the task a little harder. Once all of this is done the issues concerning MAP sensors, ignition timing and fuel supply will have to be solved.
Pick the wrong turbo charger and there is not enough air or too much too fast leading to oscillation in the intake manifold. Go too high on the boost, the engine can experience detonation, lean burn or both. This can lead to a short life expectancy of the engine.
Because it is not as simple as just bolting on a turbo charger is why many elect to purchase a quality unit that is complete. Greddy Turbo system for example. Which in the case of a 94 Celica will cost more then the car. The other solution is to find the same engine with a turbo set up already installed from the factory for a swap.
