Convertable Turbo? Help?

Ok... I am a little lost- There is a convertable at a junk yard with a turbo 2 engine. Spoke with the guy and he said that it was a factory turbo 2 car... however...to my knowledge they never made a turbo convertable... Correct?

Ok- Now...

I am going to buy the stuff to put into a convertable... What all do I need to buy?

Engine...
Transmission....
Drive Shaft...
Computer....
Harness...
Ecu....

WHAT ELSE!

This is one of the urban legends, I was told there was one in the US and it was imported from Japan privately, no they weren't sold new here.

I am assuming it's a 2nd Gen, right?

Both pressure sensors, one by the ecu and the other on the pass. side fender. Unless it's RHD, it's a conversion. Unless it's wrecked, the engine is probably toast.
