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...According to the vin...its supposed to have a turbo.. 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!

There were no US spec Turbo convertibles. There were Turbo convertibles available everywhere other than North America.

And what is the VIN, I betcha it says that it is not a Turbo

2= 1308cc 13B rotary turbo
*= Check Digit
G= 1986
H= 1987
J= 1988
0= Hiroshima Plant
######= Serial Number


RX-7 89-91 (12/88 - 7/91)
JM1 FC 331 * K 0 ######
JM1= Mazda Passenger Car
FC= RX7 Coupe
33= Coupe
35= Convertible
1= 1308cc rotary non-turbo
2= 1308cc rotary turbo
331= Coupe w/auto shoulder belt
332= Coupe Turbo w/auto shoulder belt
333= Coupe w/o auto shoulder belt
334= Coupe turbo w/o auto shoulder belt
