Question 87 NA to Turbo conversion?

Is there a set process for converting a naturally aspirated RX-7 to turbo? I have an 88 and would like to convert it to turbo, what parts are neccessary, is there anywhere to find these parts? What does the job entail?

Of course you better have deep pockets, good mechanic, and lots of patience. And you can put those is any order you want.

However I am going to get a J Spec engine with all the accessories and wiring harnesses. I think it will be a little easier.

Then again I might say screw it and leave it a NA and just rebuild it.
