I think you have answered your own question. A poorly tuned boosted motor is likely to run worse than a naturally aspirated motor with the proper tune.

No, I am comparing the Tundra motor to LX470 motor. Also, it was improperly tuned on the aggressive side hence the bent rod. There was a marginal difference between the SC and the tundra setup.

Only explanation I have right now is that the Tundra motor makes a lot more torque on low end. I am able to drive my LX like a hooligan on the road. The motor beckons me to drive aggressive. Everyday, I drive it and I just don't understand it.
 
Did the tundra ECU get swapped too? The two engines might have different fueling curves based on their application. So the lx engine might have a mellow fuel curve to help noise/driveability of the LX. And the tundra engine might have a more progressive fuel curve so that the power is more readily available.

I haven't had time to look at the tuning of these engines, but coming from tuning diesels, this could definitely explain the difference.
