Welcome to the list... this is the first post I can find from you..
I have no idea what sort of background research you have done to
this point, but I am pretty sure there is not a suitable ready-made
package with a turbo, intake, block that can be ordered.
The stock turbo's are completely unsuitable for our use, and will
fail in short order. There are a couple turbo installs flying.. Dave
Leonard's RV in San Diego, and John Slade's Cozy up in New England,
but they both are custom installs. Chris Barber in Houston has a
Turbo 13b on a velocity, and is approaching first flight. I was
involved in his build for a few years, and we purchased an intake
from Mistral when that was an option. Most car turbos are meant for
off-the-line sprint style behavior, not the hours long endurance
behavior of boosted flight operations
The stock intake on the 13B rides way too high for any canard I am
aware of, so you will need a custom intake fabricated, as well as a
custom exhaust. Both the Cozy and Velocity will require such.
If you are serious about the rotary, understand that the few
sentences below tell me that you've not done much homework and may
think this is a plug and play type installation. Its not. There will
be significant fabrication work on your end to make this happen.
So lets talk about what sort of aircraft this is going into, what
you plan to use for a PSRU, what you plan to use for an engine
controller, what sort of prop you are planning to use, and what your
plans are for mounting your radiator and oil coolers? How do you
plan to mount the engine?
And to answer your question.. A street port on a new turbo block
would be a good start. Eccentric shaft oil jet and thermal pellet
mods are also recommended. Bruce Turrentine's video has info on the
oil and pellet mods.

I am at the point in my project were I would like to
order my engine. This is a canard installation. I would
like a turbo charged 13B. What information do I need to
provide to the engine supplier? Is there some kind of
checklist or something I can use to help me?
Thanks,
George
