If you're saving for a 20b, then do that. If you want to turbo your NA, get an intercooler, or start saving for rebuils kits.

I have two fc's. One of then is my project car that one will get a 20b. This one is just one for the street. So are you saying if I dont run a intercooler I will blow my wankel.

You really do NEED an intercooler, unless you have the cash to rebuild your engines very often

I'm in the process of building a 12a bridgeport for my 1st gen. It will eventually get turboed, and yes it will need and intercooler with anything over 6psi of boost.
