WTB - ZXTurbo Coil Ingiter

Probably better to use the GM HEI Ignition Module.  It's a nice, cheap, readily available, cheap, readily available, easy-to-do replacement for the stock Ignitor.  Plenty of threads that'll tell you how to wire it up and everything you need is right there at the coil. 

 

If you don't want to go the $25 GM HEI route, I have an L28ET Ignitor w/ bracket.  Known good - removed from my Z when I did the M30 ECU swap.  It can be picked up with the turbo I have for you.

So not to thread jack but...

I have personally used the gm hei swap on a NA distributor.

But being as Nissan went to a different style igniter for the turbos, wouldn't that mean

Something is different about the way they work? Resistance or something.

 

I've never seen a turbo setup using an hei module. It would be interesting to see one with a lot of miles on it to see if it would work.

Here's the commonly used write-up on swapping the ignitor with an HEI module.  The HEI module will respond to the signal from the ECU like it does the signal from the VR in an NA engine's distributor, apparently.  The main difference would be that the HEI module and ECU would be competing for dwell control.  It seems to work though.
