what other turbos will work with 12a?
I wanna get a list started for turbos that will flow enough for a 12a. Most of us already know the turbo rotary ones will work. What other factory turbos would work well?
My thunderchicken turbo seems to be leaking like crazy so I have decided to hunt down another one. I would just like for a list to be started for a reference.
I think a grand national turbo might be enough but they are pretty expensive even used? Anyone else?
Please feel free to leave your comments on the turbos listed, thanks.

Very few, if any, stock turbos will work with a rotary, The 2nd gen guys have been looking for years. The stock 2nd gen and hybridized ones are the most common choices, then the aftermarket, starting with the T04's and up. Most of the oem turbos are so small, it might be better to run twins, one for each rotor, and a butt load of plumbing.
I have read there are a few looking at some of the diesel turbos, but they are usually doing a bit of porting.

I find the stock TO3 is adequate for the 12AT for up to 220rwhp on two injectors.
If I was going for more power, my choice would be a T04 with a H or 60:1 compressor with a P-trim turbine in a 0.88 housing. Then I would go 4 injectors, or in the case of a carb set-up move up to a Weber.

cool, but most of us will be runnin carbs.
I was wondering about diesel pickup trucks also. I think they run really high boost on them though so you might have to add a external wastegate=$$$$
alot of us are po folk, that why alot of people running first gen, lol. I am cheaper I am running a bug.
please leave any info ya all.

CT26 from the MKIII toyota supra would flow great for these cars, i think stock the trim is about 52-1 making it one of the largest stock (single) turbo cars produced. with the exhaust gasses pushed by a rotary it would flow pretty damn well and not be that laggy.
you can pick them up for under $200 too, since most people upgrade and just sell these off.

you are 100% correct.. the supra single turbo units are the biggest stock turbo you can get, and work decent on a stock rotary.. cheap too
deisel turbos are wayyyyy too big for a stock rotary, and any 4 cyl. turbo is just too small.. its cheese time

is there 2 ct26 turbos? I know one comes on the supra but is there a smaller one on the mr2 that we wouldn't want to use?
what flange does the ct26 use and what does the wastegate open at?

Dodge TII
The mid '80's to early '90's dodge TII Garret turbos should be fine for a modest boost street system. You can plumb manifold pressure direct to the wastegate actuator to limit boost to about 7 lbs or if you intercool run a "Gus" valve and get about 15 lbs. +
It might be possible to adapt the entire ecu/EFI system as well. Hmm, this warrants more investigation.
