Increasing Hp in 07 Sportivo

[bmes95]

I understand the camry is only 4 cylinders, but I see libertys which are 4 cylinders and consist of turbo etc. Safest way to increase hp in my camry?

Turbo + forged internals

Define "safe" and "increase". You could increase power by 1kW incredibly safely, but you wouldn't notice the difference.

What kind of goals/money are we talking about here?

[bmes95]

Goals..a much better increase in acceleration.

By safe I mean...only little change to the internals. I feel as if with too much change comes too much troubles and thus too much money

You might be better off buying another car then. There are off-the-shelf turbo kits from the US for the Scion 2AZ (from memory there is a tiny bit of work to make it fit the Camry), but a decent bolt-on turbo kit (without changing internals) for the 2AZ will probably only bump you up to stock Aurion V6 power levels, for a lot more hassle and decreased reliability.

Do the basics first (exhaust, intake, better suspension etc) and see how happy you are with the car, it'll never be a rocketship but if you were after performance then a 4-cyl Camry is not the best place to start (your mention of turbo Liberty etc doesn't take into account Subaru's extensive rally history and development of the EJ-series engine over many years)

Have a read of this thread, it might give you some help

Looks like the NSW one, a couple of things appear to have changed over the years but the engine setup looks the same.
