It is. And I want a supercharger for my 4port. Continued production of said 4port would be very important to the development of RP's supercharger for my car, otherwise it probably ain't gonna happen.

Hurry up Hymee!

I don’t think it has bee asked yet what do the experts here think about water/methanol injection with this setup.

Flow rate vs boost?
Flow rate vs Air mass flow rate?

Effects good or bad on a rotary?
Effects good or bad from the compressors stand point if water/methanol injection takes place before the compressor?

In the end we hope to use a reflash. The prototype may just use a standalone as the ECU hackers are not done yet. They will get it though and that is the best way to go as the stock computer can do everything needed to be done.

The re-flash sounds perfect, but what if Mazda comes out with a new flash that deals with other control logic? Let's say that something is not right with the traction control logic for example, and they issue an updated flash to correct it. Would your hacker flash need to be updated to once again reflash the correct maps?

I'd imagine it won't be an issue. Just like patching Windows... everything doesn't get overwritten when you are just patching IE. If they are uploading a new flash for ABS, then it won't have any effect on the "tune" that he uses. If a new "tune".... X flash... comes out from Mazda, well then that COULD cause a problem. But easily solved... he will likely have to provide a pre-programmed hand flasher inorder to load his "tune" (similar to Saleen and Kenne Bell). If the dealer should happen to overwrite your setup, all you need to do is bring your flasher with you and flash it back. Problem solved... eh?

Should that sort of thing happen then don't bring the car in to the dealer unless he is told not to reflash anything. Have him write it on the service order. But in anycase flashing it again is not hard just might take time depending where you are.
