It would be best to just put a turbo motor back in there.

Well you will spend alot more then buying the other engine to make the N/A motor work.
The ECU will have to be replaced to a N/A. Which means new one adn programmed to the car.

I would try to look around on other places for the motor.
Check e-bay,craigslist,car-parts.com, and anywhere else you can.
