Specific difference between a na an a turbo 13b

I couldent find any info in the faq, I am wondering if there is any difference in the two engines internally. Im not talking about the obvious things though.

NA engines have higher compression rotors, 6 intake ports (instead of 4), a different oil pump and sleeves in the exhaust ports.

^What was that? Looked like hurricane Katrina just passed through your computer.

As far as putting a turbo into an n/a engine, it's much more difficult than you make it seem. Search 6 port turbo.

just do a turbo swap, its a huge hassle to turbo an n/a. between custom exhaust manifolds and making oil and coolant feeds for the turbo its a huge pain.
