900S Auto. conversion to Turbo 5spd? ADVICE?

Hi all,
just purchased a '92 900S 4dr. Amazing condition w/ only 78k miles. Unfortunately, it's an automatic. Tranny is in great shape and there is no reason for me to get rid of it, other than the fact that it feels really slow. The only time the car gets any real pickup is once it hits 3000RPM. On the highway it takes forever to get up to 65, and once it hits 70-75 (my usual highway speed), the RPM's go up to about 5k. Too high!
I went all through high school and college with a '89 Turbo hatchback. I MISS the Turbo, I love the feeling of it kicking in on the highway. If you have had a Turbo, you know the feeling.
Has anyone ever converted a 900 automatic to a Turbo 5spd? How much can I expect this to cost? Should I start looking for a rebuilt tranny? The car is in such excellent shape otherwise, with such low miles, I almost feel like it would be worth the investment (and ultimate driving pleasure!!)
Thanks for your help.
