Thats not true, sometimes you can find them on ebay. If you go to this website www.rotaryshack.com and email them they may be able to get a hold of one for you. But other then that they dont make them anymore.

I have a kit laying round in my hallway
Kits were made by Elford in the UK, and some come up on ebay now and then. No new ones anymore, though.
Of course, in the US, it's a bit more difficult to aquire such a kit, but there might be others available. Since the 12A is out of production for ages now, you might have to search well to find a kit.

its odd then that if no company has taken the initiative to put together a turbo kit for these engines, that there are two possible super-chargers available to pick from.

go figure.

The Atkins is the same as the Camden. Eaton makes one that works pretty well for the 12A, from what I hear.
