A willingness to drop $10k into the swap.
Also at some point you'll have to use the search function.

But would it be cheaper to just build my 2jzge engine or just swap the 2jzgte vvti. I found a complete 2jzgte vvti engine with the Ecu, wiring harness, trans, and the stock turbos. The engine has 55,000 miles and all of that is@ 3,800. What you y'all do build or swap?

welcome to CL, please read the stickies at the top and do a search there is tons of info on this stuff on the forum.
there are tons of members that swap, and there are tons of members that go na-t.
it realy comes down to preference and your skill level na-t usually requires alot more DIY attitude.
also check out the build section there are tons of gte swap builds and na-t builds in there, including vvti.

if you want to get more info please search and post in one of the existing threads on this topic, or start a build thread and you can ask for help/opinions in there that are specific to your needs.
we have too many of these general can I put a gte engine in my car threads, the answer is yes but cause its vvti the harness will be the hardest part (or most $$$ if you are buying one), otherwise its just like a non-vvti but much fussier due to them using maf's etc.. its slightly trickier than a non vvti swap that is for sure but with some research its doable.
