This is a genuine fear of mine. I do believe this engine has tuning potential. Enormous in fact, and with that, the potential and incentive to unlock the secrets of Toyota's ECU and the D4-S system on their V6 and V8 motors.... However, theoretically it might be so easy to drop in a turbo EJ motor, most ppl just won't bother. Until some bold person steps up and makes some beastly gains while boosting this motor, swapping might just be the ticket, and that would be such a shame.
