As far as the HKS turbo kit goes.. good luck  these are near impossible to find still in good order, better off going the trouble of EFI and custom fabrication work, and getting a decent result and maybe some reliability. This could be done i think for about $3000 i guess, give or take a bit. <-- really unique and is still a 4-cyl 18R, so you can keep blowing as many W50 boxes and t292 diffs as you like...
1GGTE would be a good swap, as far as newer technology is concerned.. Decent power (good base potential), but still a little longer and heavier maybe so this could upset how the car feels at the front, and you may need to alter suspension setups.. Custom fab up the mounts, possibly move radiatior.. change exhaust over because 1G's have the exhaust/turbos on the opposite side to 18Rs.. Could be looking at around $2000 for the engine/loom&ECU, and itl be auto so you'll need to get a w57/8 and alter the gearbox mounts to fit maybe and shifter hole position if your unlucky.. $600 for the kit approx..
Could maybe do it all for $5500-6000, with you doing most of work..
Its a hard choice for the benefits, but i guess if i was going all out i'd go for the 1G for sure. Its such a smooth motor, would suit an ra28 perfect..( ahhh my dream  ) I was considering an 18R-GTE custom engine all rebuilt and stuff which would be pretty cool, but quite costly for the results..
3Sgte would be awesome if you have the patience and skill, because these motors are regarded as one of the best toyota has built, as far as 4-cyl potential goes. BUT they are a front wheel/4 wheel east/west motor so much custom work needs to be done to fit to a RWD celica/sprinter etc.. It has been said before by many respected board members that you should budget at least $10,000 for this swap if you dont want to skimp, and if you are an experienced modifier/electrician/welder/engine-tuner.
It would heed some nice power and could receive bolt-ons easily to gain more.
Hmmmmmm
it all sounds good, its just down to choice.. and what you really want to do. my rant for the month.
