why would you want low compression?i dont think i had that in mind i was thinking more. chronic B) more.. :yinyang:
If you want to run alot of boost with either a turbo or supercharger you would want lower compression.

The rotors have a recessed area on each face. The more recessed it is the lower the compression. The less recessed the higher the compression.

yes, to lower chances of detonation, but wouldn't it have more power with high compression under boost? I don't understand why they don't mix, high compression is kinda just like boost, are is more compressed :unsure:

The low compression rotors are supposedly more durable. You can make alot of power with higher compression, as long as your tuning is good. I've heard of a few people running NA rotors in a turbo rotary, and they had good results.
