there are tons of threads about turbo'ing n/a's. But you would need the obvious..... intercooler + piping, intake for the turbo, downpipe, bov, some kind of wastegate i would imagine, fuel injectors, bigger pump, something to control your fuel, TII trans, boost controller.... you might as well just do a full TII swap which is what most people have found out those turbo's don't just snap on.

Dude..... DO NOT try to turbo a N/A using a carb.
Rotary's are finiky enough with Fuel Injection. With a carb, you'd have to use a Rising Rate Fuel Pressure regulator, and then you's STILL have to use a Wideband on a Dyno to get the mixture right.
I know a couple of guys here who have turbo'ed N/A's, but they've used Haltec's and Wideband O2's with bigger injector.
I just don't think you could control a carb well enough to turbo without some costly mistakes in the process, fuel injection might be more expensive from the get-go, but its MUCH easier to tune.
