1: There is a Cartech turbo kit BUT it has been discontinued for a long time so you'll have to try to find one used....Good luck. Most people seem to swap out the engine for a 2nd gen Turbo II motor.
2:Using an adapter you can use the cone style airfilter.
4: Racing beat sells a system that is almost dual exhaust. Its only collected before the axel which then goes into 1 muffler. For two mufflers you'll have to get some custom work done.
5: Get a header and full exhaust around 2.25inch is great.
6: Intake, exhaust, electric fan, throttle body mod, remove air pump, igntion, light flywheel (Great mod for the $$$)
7: What are your goals for the car?
8: Theres various kits availble for the 1st gen from wide body to simple front and rear skirts. Also the GSL-SE has a really good bolt pattern which has tons of aftermarket wheels to choose from.

3: My NGK plugs (which look kinda like you described) cost me $10 each. I believe the general concensus is to use the NGK plugs.

Re: Mod Questions
1: Kits are hard to come by, but check the sticky posts in this forum section - turbo info is plentiful.
2: The stock SE airbox is already a sort of CAI, and works well with a drop-in K&N air filter. No need to go to cone type unless you're willing to fabricate a custom airbox to keep hot engine air away from it.
4: Why would you want to? Dual exhaust is 'sporty' on a V8, but on a rotary the RB exhaust going into a single presilencer and muffler is not only adequate for street & autocross performance but will add about 25hp to your SE
5: Get the racing Beat header, presilencer, and muffler. Well worth it.
6: K&N filter & exhaust as outlined above. Some have advised switching to an FC dynamic effect intake, but I ran my stock one with no problems
7: see all above
8: Admire it. The body is clean and sexy in it's simplicity as it is. You might consider some new rims to update its looks, but that's about all that's needed.
