NA -> Turbo advice, thanks.

I'm probably going to buy another NA. This one is a '88 GLX, might be a GTU but I'm fairly certain its a GLX. In either case, it has a rebuilt NA motor with 3mm apex seals and other such goodies. It also has a TII rear end and drive train. How ever it still has a NS trany thats going out and clutch with a after market lightened flywheel. I plan on replacing the trany with a TII trany any way...

My question is what would be the best way to go about turbo-ing this car? I searched through the FAQ and the threads but I couldn't really find much specific information on my question other then most of the time it's better to compleetly replace the NA with a TII in its entirety, do to compression ratios and/or lack of 3mm apex seals and all that...

Here are the links (directly from the FAQ) that deal with turbocharging the NA:

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:
