MSP with low compression rotors?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the best way to go turbo on the rx8 13b? I know you can't use the REW rotors in the rx8 housings without significant modding of the seals, so, what about using an REW housing and keeping the rx8 rotors? Or, Do you make the exhaust ports larger and keep everything else the way it is? Sorry if i am way off here, but there's no turbo stickies or anything fun to read. Am i not in the right section?


Thanks

I'm moving this to the Major Horsepower Upgrades section. That is where the turbo/supercharger threads are found.

Making the ports larger won't affect compression, at least not in the way that a different set of rotors would.
The best way to go turbo is to plan your goals before purchasing any single part, double your budget and start from there.

Read the linked thread, take some pain killers and read it again. After that, start reading the stickies in this section. Might want to brush up on the other stickies as well
