as stated, if you want to turbo w/o a full engine build, 3vz is a better option.

if you're willing to do a full build, 1mz is a better option. the block is not the weak point in engines.

how often do you see a block fail? excluding a rod going through it.

1mz weak point are the pistons and rods.

But really... what sort of cheapo would go through the hassle of a turbo VZ/MZ swap and skimp on the internals... which are integral to making power?

If you are of that mindset and want to swap in and turbo charge a stock engine... well... you deserve the sketchy information.

BTW... Newer is better... and apparently Toyota agrees
