Depends on how much experience you have working on cars. If you have done major auto repair before this shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise it may be a very good idea to let a shop do it.
Here is a writeup of how to do a S5 JDM Tii swap
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/my-na-tii-jdm-swap-635663/
(this is the same writeup except a bit more organized)

As for identifying a turbo trans vs a non turbo trans (I'm assuming thats what you are talking about when you say good vs bad) I'm not entirely sure.. I know I have seen some posts about that so you may try searching for that answer.
Good luck

As engine swaps go its fairly easy but its not something for a beginner who knows how to change his oil. Read the links I posted. Those will give you a good idea on how much work is required.
