Australia - removing the turbo from a series 8?

im looking to buy a series 8 or 6 rx7 for my first car.
however due to victoria's new restrctions on probationary drivers i cant drive a turboed car.
are there non turboed rx7's in these series available in australia?
if not can the turbo be removed and is it worth removing the turbo or will it turn into a massive hassle?

thanks, aaron.

ALL FD RX7s....all RX7s produced after 1992, were turbo-charged.
Removing the turbos is not really a viable option. In addition to the costs and work to do it in the first place, it would significantly reduce the value of the car. Consider a N/A FC (2nd Gen). GTU version perhaps.
