Well, if you look around you should be able to get a nice turbo or non turbo car for two or three thousand. Nice as having good suspension, body, and decent engine. Starting out with a non turbo is great, that way you don't kill yourself boosting it around a corner. If you plan to do a engine swap then starting with a NA car will make more difficult, there is more to it then just swapping engines and computers.

I have a NA, I love it for what it is, it keeps me on the road every day, even with all its faults. I my self think my Supra is fast enough, it was, when I first got it, the fastest thing I ever drove, but a turbo Supra car is a absolute joy to drive.

My Supra gets any where from 18 to 25mpg, depending on how I drive. With a healthy turbo car without driving boosting it everywhere you can probably attain a similar mpg rating.

Good luck.
