Turbo Convert
I'm a little new to this, so bear with me. I would like to know if the convertible comes in a turbo model, because if it is made in one, I have had alot of trouble finding an example. I'm asking because I have read that a n/a to turbo swap isn't that easy. were they made, and if so, how do they perform compared to a turbo of the same years?
Thanks for the help.

For the US and Canadian market verts where NA.
But you can get Turbo verts, either through conversions or from overseas markets.
Also, given identical specs, a turbo vert is going to be slower due to its added weight. Just like NA verts are slower than their non-convertible counterparts.

Weight is important, but not that much.

What is the reason for no US turbo verts? I heard it was something to do with a gas/luxury tax and/or the frame couldn't handle the power. Neither sound intuitively obvious to me!

Remember as soon as Mazda started selling the FC above the magic $20000 ceiling, the sales dropped radically.
