Depends what your comparing it to. A properly tuned 3sgte will spank the v6 every time.

Think about it this way. If you turbo a 3s-ge, you're looking at getting hold of a turbo itself (and you'd be mad to use a CT turbo because they're naff), custom exhaust manifold (a 3s-gte one won't fit) custom oil lines (the 3s-ge block doesn't have the oil feed or drain points on it), custom downpipe (you won't be able to use a 3s-gte one because your turbo won't be a CT series one). The amount that will cost will be crazy when there is an off-the-shelf turboed engine that drops right in.
Then you'll only be able to run ~4psi without lowering the compression ratio and retarding the ignition. You can do that by fitting a thicker head gasket - rods and pistons from a -gte won't fit. That will make it virtually undriveable on the stock ECU off boost, on boost you'll be able to run about 6psi and net maybe 210-220bhp which is still less than the rev1 turbo engine, and you'll have lost all your torque from the compression change.
I respect that you wanna do something different but you really will be shooting yourself in the foot!

Toxo there is nothing left to do that is reasonable cost on the mr2 lol.
Even the v8 has been done - a monster conversion.

all the spoilers fit each rev you just have to drill new mounting holes or delete holes
