Hand on heart I thought there would not be much difference between a supercharged 1mz and a standard 2gr.

I can see the appeal of the 2gr but it's not enough for me to consider the conversion, even if money is no object.

The issue is it's a huge amount of cash to put in an Mr2 when 10k would buy you a better car but they're goes for turbo swaps aswell.
