thanks for all the info, yeah i do have a good knowledge on turboed cars in general,,,on honda's that is with conventional 4cyl's that are easy to tune,,,, the rotor world is definately another story. i didnt drive it too much atfer i got it, and when i did i wasnt always getting on it, and like i said she's garged now. i got a 93 Rx7 SHOP manual with it, not the owners manual, the kickass shop one,, which is very very nice. as for what turbo i have, im gonna poke around under the hood today and look for tags/numbers on the turbo, and will post back shortly. with that boost cut/fuel cut thing due to the stock computer,, can that hurt the engine? i mean over time if i keep drving w/ all stock fuel management,,, which i wont, i know it will harm it, but for the times that it did do it,, can he engine be screwed up? i hope not, i love that car and cant wait to learn more so i can get eveything i need to make it run perfect and fast,and i know its not all bolt on and go, i have access to a dyno and wide band O2 and all the goodies. its the touring model if that makes a difference in any way. and to --94TOURING i saw all your mods in your sig. the 18psi on pump gas sounds really impressive, what Hp numbers you puttin down? ive seen people at like 13psi on pump gas doing like the lower 400RWHP range, with a single turbo of course. anyhow, off to the garage!

---PS i live just outside of chicago in the burbs...

alright, i pulled the piping that runs from the turbo to the intercooler to get a better look at things. there is no tag on the polished compressor side, but on the inside of the female piping on the turbo (where the rubber coupler goes over to connect the IC piping), its has 55 casted into the metal on the inside. and on the exhuast side of the turbo it says garret, so its a garret turbo ide imagine.duh. also on the front of the polished comessor side housing, theres a big T machined out of the cast on it. thats all i found out for now. when i go out there again in a little bit i wanna jack the front end up and take a look on the underneath side to see how things are and maybe find some more numbers. and i have pics of it, i just dont know how/havnt tried to post any yet.
