yea you are better off getting a stock turbo 7mgte, if thats the route you are going to go, because its alot of work to turn an n/a into a turbo, and if you dont have the skills necisary to do the swap, your lookin at around anywhere from 400-700 to have someone swap it in, and since the trannys are different lengths, you will have to change the drive shaft to one out of an r154. start getting some money together,

Thirded, bit of a pipe dream, sorry mate.

Best bet would be to buy a new car, that is turbo. Sell your NA car. The price differance would be far far smaller than the cost of a conversion.

Otherwise buy a 7MGTE drop it in, should take no more than half a day, so hire the crane to do it.

Not to sure on why you'd need a new Dshaft tho? Automatic and manuals have different lengths, But the 7mge and gte block would sit in the same position and have the same bell housing, so i don't see why that'd require a new dshaft, also doesn't the R154 have a differant spline count and aren't they a differant length to the W5* boxes? so even if the dshaft need replacing (which im pretty sure they don't) a R154 dshaft wouldn't help.

EDIT: I'm assuming the 87 has the W58, which i'm pretty sure they do, only differance between GTE and GE is the flywheel sizes, ones 9" the other is 9 1/2"
