Well, there are two things you can do. Swap for a turbo engine or turbo the N/A. 7M is pretty easy to manage apparently, so I'd personally swap the engine out for a turbo. Many can be had for $500-$600 easily, whereas if you turbo the N/A you are limited pretty soon by less fuel and higher compression
If you can go to SupraForums, theres a few N/A-->T and "1/2 N/A-->T" conversion threads and stickies.
SupraMania is a better place for technicalities, though recently got hacked and lost a buttload of information, some of which probably being N/A-->T stuff because I'm not finding as much info there. HTH

i think it would also be good idea to do the engine swap. The only prob is u won't find to many explainations on how to do it from this site and supraforums.com is down right now or not letting new members register. But i did some research on this and was asking around and a lot of peps told me to do an engine swap as well. The thing is, the 7mge is such a high compression motor that putting a turbo on would mean you could only run very low psi. So while you may get slighty more power, you still will never get the power you can get from a 7mgte or 1jz

Oh right, yeah, the W58 on MkIIIs is useless for power

This is debatable...its MUCH easier and cheaper to stick with the 7M, although many people prefer the 1JZ (I did for a year) you need a whole clip for the conversion and some fun with wiring
