then you need to spend the lion's share of your time learning right. you took the right first step in seeking knowledge, but you need to know what you're doing before messing with a turbo project.

that said, to answer your question, you don't NEED any internal mods off the bat, but life would be easier for the motor with them. however, if you're not going to dedicate your efforts to doing things right, then even with the internal mods you're going to grenade the thing.

i hope you take this advice and research in the Gen II section.

T2 / turbo II = name of model of rx7.
13b-t = name of engine that is regularly in a T2
these are regularly not twin turbo

Where to find a 13b-t for sale = classifieds section. Not sure of the cost.
