S4 N/A to turbo conversion

I know there's a thread explaining the process, but I can't seem to find it. I just wanna know what all it intails to it and if it's worth it, what's the pro's and con's of doing this versus going with a TII swap.

straight from the FAQ:

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

http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...conversion.htm

How do I add a turbo to my NA 13B?
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:

A thread? A search for "turbo swap" turns up 260 threads with those words in the title. C'mon now.

This is the first, and most thorough: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/s4-na-turbo-swap-details-813825/

lol sorry and thanks, I was looking up "N/A to turbo conversion" and a bunch of non related stuff popped up. I did the research last night at the end of a 16 1/2 hour shift, was kinda tired.
