Turbo RX8

Built a couple turbo cars before. New to these Rotary engines, and looking to buy a RX8, I was thinking of Turbo a RX8, only plaining on running 7 - 8 psi, just wondering if that would be to much boost for a stock Rotary and too hard on the seals, Also how will the injectors and fuel pump keep up. Newbee questions but wouldn't mind some help

that's fine as long as you don't run lean for any reason - the Renesis seals will take a little abuse but not much in comparison to a piston engine .
Many turbo owners are now moving to stronger seals .

Is it nesasary to put a bigger rad in it? also for the tunning and computer can i just use the Cobb Accessport, Should I do anything with the mass air and intake temp sensor. Do you guys use the GM 4 bar map sensor
