I've seen a 5SFE Celica been modded with a 3S-GTE turbo kit.
It was in an edition of Hot4's. There was quite a bit of mucking around though. Expensive pistons, new computer, intercooler that wasn't easy to fit without cutting...
Don't really know if it would be worth it after all that trouble. Realistically, you would be paying more to do the mods that what the car is currently worth.

Sure you can go 'it's a waste of money, buy a gt4' or something, but I like the thought of making a sleeper or just extra go.
Doesn't have to be an earth shattering 10 second car. Plus I like the look of my widebody car. I think the SXV20R is the square one though isn't it?
But anyways, you'll find it hard to get an answer on a 5sfe here, or anywhere. (I know, I'm probably the only other one here with one).
Hopefully in the near future I'll be doing some stuff that I can't currently get help on. Don't get me wrong, I love the community here, it's just us poor camry guys are a very small minority here.
Oh yea, there is a turbo kit, at $2500 USD though.  Plus it's not currently for a camry 5sfe. Pity though, there is lots of huge empty space in my engine bay that I could fit lots of crap into. With the price of that kit though, it would be just as cheap to get a soarer v8 and throw that in. Or even better, a 3vz-fe. It can legally just be put in no worries because it's an option on the model. Plus there is a supercharger kit for that v6.
Sports exhausts: Just go to any exhaust shop. Won't be cheap though, lots of plumbing in these things.
