Non Turbo with a TT Motor swap

I don't know about the 2jz, but adding a turbo to a N/A 7m will send it into limp home mode unless you get an new ECU. The pistons on the turbo cars are dished to lower compression, and also some of them are forged. IMHO it would be easier and less hassle to get your hands on a complete engine and ECU and swap em, it will be far more reliable and possibly cheaper in the long run since if you go with a stand alone ECU (like you would most likely need to), you need to spend a lot of time tuning it on a dyno so you don't go lean.

Up to you, but it's not going to be cheap either way really...
