Just "Get 'R Done" If you were going to push that turbo than I would say swap bottom ends but for what you are doing, the stock VE has so many pluses and I don't really see any minuses with your setup. Certain setups would benifit from the DET bottom end but for you, I do not see any reason at all to do it. I guess you wouldn't have to tap the block, lol, but will have to do a headswap and run external oil lines.
is that attributed to just the 4CW crank and the compression ratio? or are there any other factors that come into play?

You won't be disappointed and it will be reliable enough that if it were me I would sell the DET complete and get the most money I could for it. I think it is worth more complete but if you figured out that you can part it out and feel like going through that hassle and make close to it than go for it. Good luck, you are going to love this setup
