Ouch.....first off read the first couple threads in this forum that have FAQ and such on them. Next, go to http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/tech.html and read Kevin's very thorough TECH section. After that, go into the 2nd Gen Archives and look for Kabooski's post on T2 Conversion/Swap. After that, and use of the famous "Search" button, you'll be all set

It would be extremely difficult to turbo a N/A rotary engine, + the compression is different and would not be good for the engine.
Best bet would be sell car and get turbo or entire drivetrain swap.

Oh yes and let's not forget Aaroncake's writeup... http://www.aaroncake.net/RX-7/naturbo.htm
But version13 is right, either get a T2 ready to go, or do a conversion/swap
