Yes it was available turbo on the previous model.. but as with previous half-hearted dabbles from other manufacturers, the performance to price ratio was abysmal. For the same price as a WRX or 200SX you could have an equally overweighted, underpowered, understeering and hard to insure Corolla.
Greeeeat... and they wondered why they struggled to sell the limited run (something like 400 cars I think?).
Have seen a 3SGE in a sprinter... seems a good way to give yourself a headache and a car with debatable weight balance. Stick with the 4AGE, and turbo a 4AGZE if you're not happy with the power.
