I'd upgrade your points ignition to electronic for starters. I wouldn't recommend Turbo'ing without a rebuild.

Can you be more descriptive of the problem? "Won't Start" isn't the same as won't crank over, which would then (maybe) involve the starter. but if its spinning but doesn't catch, that could be a whole 'nother matter
If you are going to start chasing down relays (and gawd knows there are w-a-a-ay too many of these in the 79s!) or really any ignition issue, you should have a factory wiring diagram to help you. You can get these on ebay occassionally for about $15. I know the RX7 haynes manuals have a wiring diagram too, though I don't know how accurate it is....
Anyway - give us more to go on-
