I haven't driven the new Taco yet and reviews of the power delivery are positive, so I'm not at all trying to complain about the stock config.
Turbo engines are typically easier to squeeze out performance gains, even without having to swap out injectors and such. I suspect the engine has already been detuned somewhat to meet emissions (especially the 6M and its "crankshaft hammering" which resulted in it's moderate hp/torque reduction). Also, Toyota has traditionally over-engineered their engines and drivetrains for strength and durability, so there may be room for reliable improvements.
Anyone care to speculate on what the aftermarket will come out with for tuning? 300 ponies and 350 torques doesn't seem outlandish with just a simple programming change.
