B230F and B230FT engine differences 700

I am just curious as to the differences between the B230F and the B230FT. I already know the most obvious difference (turbo) and I think there is a difference in compression ratio (usually turbos have a lower one). What I would like to know is are there any major internal differences between the two engines. If they are similar except for a turbo and different pistons would it be worth it to keep my B230F and get an aftermarket turbo, or should i go for a B230FT swap?
