Very few, and the one that sold recently for $3,000.00 was gone in a day (stupid cheap). The rest I have seen go up have all been $6,000.00 plus and that is maybe 1 a year. Not to mention a few that have bought used have had to have the blower unit rebuilt so that needs to be factored in the cost as well.

.

This is true for lots of people (me included) but not everyone . I know lots of people that have stuck with the stock Greddy turbo at modest boost levels for many years. Maybe those would like more power but in all probability their budget wont allow it.

I meant the less experienced source to be me, not those who I acquired the info from. For example, take the physics of the two engines. I sure wasn't the one who tested the airflow however we can take it for a fact that the p-port flows more volume than the side port.
t.

I don't doubt that for a second . However , at less than 300whp it is irrelevant. I'm guessing it starts becoming a factor at around 350WHP judging by what people have achieved with the Renesis.

Me either . Just stating my opinion based on my own experiences with the turbo Renesis . There are many experienced rotary tuners who just gave up on the Renesis at an early stage and never gave it a second thought . It would seem to me that those are the kind of people you are getting your info from . Not people who have actually succeeded with the engine .
