depending on how you want to go about a swap,either you buy a completely new engine from toyota,suprastore or the like.or you buy a used low millage half cut bacause this would have everything you need for the swap(make sure if you go this rout that you buy a u.s.direct market cut or engine and tranny and ecu.do not buy the jdm ones, these have no egr valves for us emmision regulation and have ceramic turbo's that are more delicate than the usdm brother.plus the jdm has 30 less hp).the engine wiring harness on a jdm is shorter,so you'd either have to lengthen it to fit,or if you take my advice get the usdm and it will all fit much more easilly.cost of used swap involving 1/2 cut 2jz-gte over 4000.00 dollars plus more money for new parts if needed(clutch,machining flywheel,pluggs belts hoses,vac hoses,oil,gear oil,trans oil,coolant.),you will be nicked and dimed so watch what your doing.a new set up will pretty much cost you your soul,and an arm and a leg.if you just want to convert n/a to turbo suprastore.com has kits available for this ,they will only yeild about 400 hp max as the n/a engine boes not have a lowered compression,or as many large oil squirters as the 2jz-gte,thus it does not have as much power and durrability under stress as the 2jz-gte.a conversion for n/a to single turbo is around 4500.00.6000 is a little low,but if everything checks out(compression,brakes,suspension,electrical and a clear title)buy it.
