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.

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.
