says who? I'm pretty sure it can handle 500hp with stock internals. Its all in the tuning.
Dragon was telling me with the proper tuning and OEM style internals it can hold about 400-450 at the flywheel no more without getting the internals done.

on a rotary you need a To4R or bigger, you can do it with a To4S if you don't mind boosting the living **** out of it. There are several large ball bearing turbo's you can use but I wouldn't ever run a ball bearing turbo on a rotary engine unless you've got $ to burn...
Isn't the to4R like almost 6k and the gt 35/40 only 4k? They can both produce 500 at the flywheel. I also heard you can't rebuild the to4r in the states? And you can get the cartidge or parts for the gt, so all in all i think the gt 35/40 would be a better choice, esp for a street car.

Tell me about it.At least Directfreak knows a guy who builds custom manifolds for just about any application.I want a T04R or T78 hooked up to a HKS 60mm wastegate and HKS BOV. that could be fun.
