You are better of doing a complete Turbo swap and dont spend your time and money trying to turbo your n/a oh yeah hopefully you have pretty deep pockets.

No turbo kits.
Search the user name 'Aaron Cake', he turbo'd his stock 6-port using stock TII parts, then built it all the way up to a bridge-ported GT40R beast.
Oh yeah, search next time, there are tons of threads on this. It's covered in the FAQ too.

Directly from the FAQ:

Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:

What Turbo kits can I add onto my non turbo RX-7?
There are no longer kits formally made at the time of this post, however there are companies from time to time that do make available non turbo to Turbo Kits. Because most of these companies stop building the kits, or go out of business in short time, it is impossible to keep active links for them.

Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:
Using the stock TII turbo, exhaust manifold with spacer, NA intakes and NA ECU:
