88 Rx7 non-turbo SE, 13b rotary, runs good, but has been in storage for 2.5 years. This car is really clean except the paint. I am going through it a piece at a time and need adivce on performance modifications, what will work, or what is best, turbo? or supercharged? This car has a auto trans, that sucks, but the car was free to me so what the hell?
I havent yet found a mechanic in my area that knows about rotary engines, and I know the dealers will rape me. Have all the tools and equipment to do the work, just lack the know how. Any help would be appreciated. I want this car to be fast, have a mustang friend that needs his attitude adjusted, and I just plain love this car so I want the most out of it.

you know Vosko, you're right, after reading all these threads for months now, I'm convinced a turbo swap is such a pain in the ***.
