With a low mileage GTE swap you can get away with basic maintenance before dropping it in. Then just swap out the twins, injectors, ECU, do the exhaust/intercooler. DragINT does these swaps with single turbo conversions in like 4 days lol.
and the typical v8 swap just bore me. A boosted 2J with the same power is just so much more visceral and exciting to drive.

You continue to compare apples to oranges.
Rebuilding a N/A engine is a few hundred bucks unless your going all aftermarket internals, at which point... Apples meet Oranges.
Pistons, Rods and Crank in an NA are just as strong as a TT.
I'm not going to hate on a boosted straight six, would love to have one. However a gut ripping torque monster V8 is just as fun.
Toss in a PD Blower with that banshee wail and the combo of instant toqure and high rpm pull is intoxicating. I couldn't imaging having a W463 with a diesel or a gutless M104.
My next engine will likely be a stroked Big Block Mopar. Just love that low idle rumble of a big cam V8.
Really, there is no replacement for displacement even if you like 4 cylinders or 6's.
2JZ > RB26 > Rb25 > SR20 > CA18Det
K24 > K20 > B18 > B16 > D16 > D15
So forth.
