turbo conversion and nitrous question

I'm new to this page, please stay with me....

first, turbo conversions for n/a 7's:
from what i understand from other rx7 pages, it's not recommended to put a turbo on a n/a car. from seeing this page, it appears that some of you have some this. i first off would like to know a few technical things. such as i it advisable to switch to a different intake manifold (stock TII) or is the n/a usable? my plans are for a front mount intercooler. also, will it kill my engine life?
honestly my plan was to fit a 13b-rew engine and have my friend weld new motor mounts, any advice?

BTW, i have a 1986 RX7 with 65,000 miles, always been Fla driven, and one owner before me.

secondly, i plan for a nitrous setup. i was thinking ZEX, unless a smarter system has been discovered.

The n/a intake manifold will not work on a T2 motor, the n/a motor is a 6 Port motor and the T2 motor a 4 port, the manfiolds are totally different. Good idea to get a front mount the stock mount is only good to 12psi. Its going to cost you a lot of money to get that 13b-rew to work in your car, if you just want to be different/or can get it cheap go for it, otherwise your just better off with a t2 motor. I like the Zex system it seems like its the safest, but I have no experience with nitrous. I plan on running a 50-100 shot with another 7, most likely the zex system. What will kill your engine life?
