First off, use the search feature.

Second, here is the supra engine cliff notes:
Your car has a 7MGE Engine.
There is a 7MGTE supra engine that is pre turboed and supposedly safe up to 14PSI with engine reinforcment, although it doesn't make much more turbo HP past 12PSI
There is a 1JZGTE which is a much more powerful engine but i believe it needs slight modding to fit.
There is a 2JZGTE which is ridiculously powerful and when upgraded can reach 4 digit HPs. This one is twin turbo
There are plenty of aftermarket turbos and lots of info on this site. Search around. Good luck and welcome to the fastest club on earth =b
