Don't 900 NA and turbos have different blocks?

when I was looking for my 9000 I found a clean low mileage base model (non turbo) with a stick for a very low price. I was going to buy it and then hit the junkyards for turbo parts and electronics to upgrade it to at least an LPT level, if not CSE specs. Found out from knowlegable friends that turbos, on the 9000s anyway, have a strengthened block and it is not a good idea to turbo the regular 9000 engine. Settled for a more expensive CS turbo and I'm gathering CSE turbo parts for conversion this spring.
Not sure if this applies to the C900, so check with someone who knows or rasie the question on this board, or the performance board
Thats what I like about this board, no matter how much you think you know, there is always more to be learned.
