The first looks like a Mazda Reman to me.

I still with I had that kinda money...Is it true that you can make a non-turbo engine a turbo (as was said in the first one)? He said that it doesnt come with a turbo, but one could be added. Well no ****, but would it be tha same? I mean, dont T2's have lower compression rotors and stuff?

Yeah, the lack of "what year, what internals" is a put-off. And the possibility of a Mazda reman is not a pleasant thought according to the gossip that floats around here.

We deal with Madza rotaries, there's an inherent amount of risk anyway...

Here is my e-mail conversation with the sellers involved with the first one

Marilyn Hendricks <Hendricksracing@email.msn.com> wrote:

it is just a 13B, they never gave any specs on years to be used.
just add your fuel induction & turbo (if desired)
