Good luck, but you might want to make sure your buddy's 19 year old car is running right before you "test it at the races".
Just letting you know, its not hard to find a used engine thats running right...I got mine for $1000 shipped from PA with a 90 day warranty. Havent replaced anything but a crank angle sensor. Compression checked out great. I got mine from Ebay/JDMexchange.com. It arrived with 2 bad plugs and a dime sized hole in the valve cover. Easily swapped with my bad motor, along with other hoses and misc. things they cut off. The install (no hookup) cost me $1000 dollars, its usually $800, but it was 1000 due to them swapping out the plug/valve cover/preventive maintanence parts that were good on my old motor.
I almost know how you feel, but a RWD coupe with an NA 3.0 liter is not exactly useless. You can build it for auto x's, road courses, drifting, etc. If this isn't your daily driver than get the turbo, but keep in mind with rebuilding your NA you'd have a fresh motor with not much serious shit that can go wrong vs. having a 19 year old car with a tired motor...If you're daily driving the car, do some good bang for the buck bolt ons, get a coilover kit, some sticky tires, restore it some, and you have a fun daily driver...this is assuming that the car is a 5spd.
