Rebuilt GTU engine/ can I ad turbo

I am new to The RX7 and have a few questions............Does anyone know where I can get a GTU engine rebuild.......for a nice price? Also can I add turbo to the GTU engine? If I can is it worth it?

Thank you

I would cost less and be a better option to go just drop in a T11 engine. But once you do that your gona need an aftermarket ECU, if you wanna put boost above 8 psi, your gona need a fuel pump. Yeh and when you get the build done and wanna turbo charge a GTU engine your also gona need lower compression rotors and T11 housings so its a hassle.
Nice and simple if you dont want a headache just rebuild it. If you like the headache go for a T11 engine.
Dont turbo charge a GTU engine cause the T11 will be cheaper and faster.

I thought all you had to do was just SLAP on any old turbo and your BOOSTING.
