It is fairly simple to make a NA into a TII. It takes about 40 hours labor for someone who has never done it. You will need to swap the engine, trans, drive shaft, rear end, and ecu. A turbo 2nd generation can be accomplished for less than than the turbo kit parts for the rx8. The 2nd generation TII will also crush an RX8.
The Rx8 is a beautiful car and is fun to drive. We own two 2nd gen rx7's and an Rx8. I am 220lb and 6'0" tall and I fit fine into all of our cars.
