Full Race makes some of the BEST for near anything they sell for. Their manifolds are sturdy, designed for HP and durability, and use the best turbochargers available. None of this comes cheap mind you,

Full Race kits are very nice... You really have to see them in person to understand.. The pics don't do them justice....

I enjoy watching when people put their full faith in a "turbo kit." Seeing the more reputable TR users sing accolades about this particular kit is reassuring (no sarcasm - serious). What does entertain me though is that people don't take the time to learn about the amount of air flow required to meet certain application goals or hp goals. This is even more true in the rotary world as many people do not realize that rotaries flow much more air then a piston engine. So when some poor uneducated sap goes out and buys a piston rated 400-600hp turbo and winds up with less then three hundred hp it makes me laugh.

I apologize for the tangent, but please, no one should blindly put full faith into a kit. Do some research, look for other applications that are similar to your own, look for their dyno sheets and with what turbo. Realize the gain and loss of turbo lag, hp, top end, etc. Know what boost you want to run and how much air that flows and where in the efficiency range of that turbo you will end up.

you just rambled on about nothing. I dont know of people buying a piston turbo kit and putting it on a rotary but mmmkay. The OP asked if anyone had one or knew if it was good for a specific motor.

This kit is engine specific not a universal kit so lag, hp, topend power and such will be very similiar if correctly installed.

not sure why you carried on about this, as Full Race has a reputation beyond reproach. They sell many different sized turbos depending on your hp goals. And you can't argue the quality, nor the innovation, that goes into their manifolds, pipe routing, and choice in materials. If there's better, it'll cost you double.

I admitted right in the post I went off on a tangent But my point was no one should just put blind faith into a kit, they should research the specifics of that kit and find out the 'why' in the equation. All to often people are just interested in the results and when the apply a kit to their application they come up so very disappointed that they didn't achieve the same power as someone else.
