1990 Supra with a 2jz

Hey guys, first time poster on this board (I'm a member of LS1GTO.com) and owner of an LS2 GTO. I have the opportunity to buy a 1990 Turbo Supra (well, the body and interior are original Turbo Supra anyways), but the owner has swapped a 2jz-ge (so non-turbo) from a 95 MKIV and an R154 transmission with the 2jz bell housing in there. He had it professionally done at a shop in Austin, and they managed to prevent tripping the check engine light. No leaks of any kind (including the targa top), full exhaust system (it passes smog), and MKIV wheels with brand new tires. I'm not sure how the interior and the exterior look, but I'd assume they're pretty beat to hell. The guy wants $4500 obo for it. What do you guys think? Should I go for it?

If I get it, I'd probably end up throwing on some ITB's and slapping a 65mm turbo (maybe a twin turbo setup...but I love me lots of boost) on there. How much power would the R154 be able to hold reliably?

Thanks!
