they did say that the engine was built to take boost.

The engine was meant to take A boost. That means that the engine could probably put out more HP than it's tuned to put out right now.

Likely that will be the case when the RX-7 comes out, they will not have it detuned, increase rotor size and keep it NA at over 300 horses.

At least that's my hope. The engine is so compact it is difficult to put any turbo on the car. Besides, trying to balance all the necessary equipment into a car with perfect weight balance is rather pointless.
