My recommendation is to save your $ and wait. If you want one with turbos, start with that in the first place. The n/a swap has been tried hundreds of times, with mixed results. If your goal was a gutted back-halved trailered drag car, then maybe I'd say sure start with a high mileage n/a. Based on what you've said so far, I believe you wouldn't be at all happy with that - even after an engine swap. The n/a isn't really a "base model" - to me, it's a totally different vehicle except the not-really-all-that-light chassis. Calling it a base model makes it seem like it's the same except maybe power windows and a/c.

I don’t know you so I can’t say that you would be disappointed in the future if you bought an NA but with the extra benefits of the TT that pwpanas listed; in my opinion, you would be much happier waiting till you can by a TT model.

I have bought a 1994 Toyota Supra n/a and let me tell you it was basically junk I mean it had the looks and I felt cool saying I had a supra but when it comes down to it, I just had a pale imitation. I sold it and bought the TT version and I have never been happier it was honestly the best decision. So do yourself a favor and just save up some more and get the TT model you wont be sorry trust me.
