Depending on your skill and technical savvy it would probably be easier to just swap in a TII motor. (I'm assuming you have an FC....)

No idea how what kind of power levels your looking for but here is a great read on the subject. http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/myrx-7.htm Hope this helps

The parts list could change in many ways. First you should add up how much money you have to throw at this. Second you have to decide what tasks you are capable of completing yourself. Third you must decide what your specific goals for the car are going to be. Then figure out how much power you are going to require. Once you have taken these things into consideration you will be in a position to make an organized parts list to achieve exactly what you want within your budget. Or I might have you all wrong, are you considering doing this or are you just wondering what it takes to force induce the motor with a turbo? In which case I would reply ... a turbo. Not trying to be a smart *** or anything, this was just a little too general of a question to answer. One more possibility is that you were wondering this whole time what parts are needed to change a stock N/A motor to a stock TII motor. My answer for this is the TII motor has lower compression rotors so you would have to rebuild with lower compression. It would be less work to swap the whole TII engine and wiring harness. I have used the TII harness in a N/A chassis but the body harness is a little different in the N/A chassis so there are a few small mods like hard wiring the alternator. If I didn't provide a good answer than ask a more specific question.
