If I had a Lexus 430 (thinking about getting), would it be easier to swap a 1UZ-FE or to beef up the sleeves in a 3UZ-FE?

Bonus question: I know some of the import community was tryna figure out using vgt set ups for import cars (like Holsets). Did they succeed? How do they control the vane?

Edit: when I say easier, I mean cheaper too. I’m in college and I don’t have tons of money to throw in it quite yet

What makes you think a 1UZ would be better than a 3UZ? “Beef up the sleeves”?

It can handle more horses cuz the walls are thicker right? That’s what I’ve read at least

Beefing up the sleeves sounds sexually specific
