possible turbocharge a 13B?

I want to start a project that involves turbocharging a NA 13B. I know it'll be difficult but i enjoy a challenge and i would gain some knowledge through this endeavor. Does anyone know of any sources that explain the differences between the 13B and 13BT engines? Has anyone else done this before?

It's cheaper and easier to sell your na for a T2

He's right, but if you really want to do it, go for it! Just have reasonable expectations. TII motors are designed to run with a higher compression than the NA engine, so at most, you'll be running somwhere around 6 pounds of boost. But good luck if you decided to do it!
