The manufacturer knows best, you could say the same about any modifying and you don't see many standard tubby's.
That's not what I meant. If the V6 engines being fitted were significantly quicker than the 3S-GTE then it would make a lot of sense to do the engine coversion. However this does not seem to be the case.
So unless you specifically want to convert the NA you have now it would seem to make more sense to just buy a turbo.
Imagine if you had a car with a 1.2 litre engine, you wouldn't fit a 1.4 engine from a different car, if there was already a 1.6 litre version of your car already available.
