if you want your car back on the road asap, you aren't going to have that going turbo either. It is a ******* ball ache to turbo the 1gfe and it will cost you more than a 1j conversion anyway. You'll need to go after market or have a serious piggyback setup and the amount of money you need to spend just to have it not blow up at about 250hp is ridiculous.

If buying another car is an option, why not get a dirt cheap is200 from ebay, use the engine in yours and then 1j the new car?

fair enough. Why not use the money to buy an IS300 then? That's just over 200hp and could quite easily hit 230ish with some na mods. Loads available for the 2j as well.
