Go to the second gen section FAQ (found here). There are all sorts of things for you to read there. Do lots and lots of searching, for terms like "na turbo conversion". Once you've done that, then ask any specific questions you still have.

Good luck, welcome, and happy searching.

Why doesn't it run?
If its a simple fix / minor damage, fix it.
If the motors blown with bad coolant or oil seals, or for some odd reason bad comp. seals or springs, aka major damage, an you dont want to go through a rebuild, then I can see going with a turbo swap.

Theres nothing wrong with / bad about an n/a rotary.

not trying to be mean, really i'm not, but if you're asking those questions, you're nowhere near ready to being able to complete this swap correctly. fix the car as is and drive it while learning what you need to know.
