If by Zenith XT Turbo you mean any of the Zenith XT machines running at 8Mhz 
(Z-158, and Z-159) then I can answer both of your questions.  They both can
accept an 8087 chip.  As far as installing a 5.25" drive in a machine that 
already has a hard drive and a primary floppy drive, you must first lower
the hard drive to the very bottom of the machine (it just fits) in order to 
room for the second floppy drive.  As far as controller and ROM chips you
will have to check with you local service center to find out what you need.
 
Any more questions?
