I'm with Norbie on this one... the 3T-GTE or is probably the best bang for buck conversion you could do in a TA-22.
You could also note the 4A-GTE is well suited to the TA-22 also.
Also, don't forget the word - legal 
Yes sure, I was crazy enough to squish a 1JZ in a TA-22, & as a result had a LOT of modifications to do, just to get the damn thing to fit.
In the end (after a lot of trial & error) I had a car that ran consistant low 12s, a best 12.071 @ 114mph ...
Produced 237rwkw @ 18psi (1.2 bar) boost... (That's around 335kw at the flywheel)... but even this required all sorts of tweaks, & more $$$$ spent to the 1JZ to get it this good. 
But I would NOT recommend this conversion to anyone, who isn't either:
a. Crazy - & really loves the TA-22
b. Got too much $$$ to spend
c. Is looking for a real challenge
d. Wants straight line speed over handling
e. Doesn't care too much about road registration.
So if you are not a crazed reasonably wealthy individual who likes a real difficult challenge with plenty of headaches & going fast in a straight line... Go the 3T-GTE 
It all comes back to the 2 questions though:
1. What is your desired rear wheel horsepower?
2. What is your budget?
freakincage_com, can you answer these?
