You should get a MR2 halfcut because you will need to use the MR2 gearbox and drive shafts with GT4 outer CV's. You'll also want to get the GT4 alternator mount, alternator and crank pulley. The GT4 water neck would be handy as well as these are very different on the MR2.
Buying a bare engine is generally not a good idea for people who really know what they are doing. Based on the questions in this thread I really recomend a halfcut.
You will have to fabricate all four engine mounts.
The fabrication work involved in getting a 3S into the whole a 4A used to reside in is about equal to the fab work required to turbo the GAE in my opinion. The 3S is not a lot heavier than the 4A, there was no measurable change in the rear ride height of my AW11 after the swap.
The 3S will give you a much more torquey engine and will make the power fairly easily. With a good intercooler, dump pippe, exhaust and some tuning it should get you up to 270 whp on one of those dodgy US dyno's. The 4A will be able to make this power as well however it will be at higher revs and come onto power much more fiercely.
There is an upside to the 4A in a front wheel drive config though, it will be much easier to drive it without coming onto boost and therefore avoiding the torque steer issues when commuting.
