The stock 3s generally ends up around 350whp before you hit the start of diminishing returns on your money.
With 10,000 invested and most of the work done by yourself, you will most likely make close to 300whp and still be very reliable. This is MORE THAN ENOUGH to run low 12's in an mr2 and high 13's in the celica. At this point, the cost of going from 300whp to 400whp is EXPONENTIALLY HIGHER as many pieces of the drivetrain need to be replaced for strength reasons. Judging by the questions your asking, you seem fairly new to the 3sgte, this is not a "plug and play" solution, but it is one of the better options for toyota swaps.
Gotta Pay to Play
Also, Twin Turbo is a bad idea on any 4 cyl application. Most people in the forced induction business tend to lean towards the fact that a properly sized larger turbine is always better than two smaller turbines due to turbulence and mechanical friction of more moving parts in the 2 smallers.

umm. depending on the tuning and mods you put into it you should no problem getting 250 hp out of it.
no, you'd want to go single turbo.
if you have an extra 10gs to spend the fucker will haul ass.

250 isn't too hard to accomplish on a 3s. Ricksta seems like you have alot of research to do. For example twin turbo setup on a fwd 3s? Anything over 300hp is retarded on a fwd. No traction, it would be time to move on to a awd setup or mrw. Trust me i know from experience. I could burn tires up through 3rd gear. Its not very fun to lose traction.
