For the Mkiv, the primary factor you have to keep in mind is that the car is more than just an engine. The Mkiv's braking system (calipers, abs), suspension, ignition, transmission, differential, etc., etc., etc. are all much more capable in the TT version than the n/a. Sure, you can slap a turbo on an n/a and make a few more ponies, but you will not end up with a TT. If you want a TT, wait, save up some more $, and get it. It'll be significantly cheaper in the long run to do this than trying to turn an n/a into a full TT.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
