Exclamation Major Convo. What will i need?

Hey guys. My Apex Seals are finally going out and i decided to drop different parts in the bay. So far i was thinking the japanese deal of 40k mile Turbo B13 with T2 tranny deal.. But one of my friends suggested "hey, if you puttin somethin else in it.. then might as well put a twin turbo FD and tranny in it..". When i looked it up the difference between the two was only 500 dollars.. so now im thinkin which to drop in.. the biggest issue is of course the Automatic N/A i own... and no, i cant buy another RX 7. The only other one available anywhere between 500 miles here also got its apex seals gone.. so yeah.. plus my baby is sentimental value too.. first car and i love the thing. So anyone can help with my problem and tell me what kind of harnesses i might need for a N/A to T.Turbo (if it fits) or N/A to Turbo + Automatic to Manual (T2 or FD). Any help would be appreciated.

Mounting and engine management are the bitch here, and more than likely youll want a TII tranny. There is info in the FAQ about this.
