First suggestion, since your post count is ONE right now...
Read more and ask less questions.

Throw away that piece of **** turbo, cause it's too small for the 13B.

All you needed to run 12.xx was a full exhaust, intake, and a pair of slicks.

You just wasted your money on the turbo and the wastegate.

Nope, 13.1 was the best I could squeak out of a stock turbo.

so your tellin me that if i had a complete stock motor and intake and full exhaust and slicks that i would run 12's? that doesnt make sence. ...so can someone please let me know what i actully need without anyone starting a fight... cbi was just thinking of bridging my motor....

i just want to know like injectors and what are the best ones, i already have a RBdownpipe on stock turbo and 3inch straight pipe all the way back!!! and i didnt want such a big turbo bc i just wanted something that will give me power plus it will spool up real quick....

I dont think you can break high 12's on a stock turbo, stock motor, and slicks.
Now low 13's like J-Rat said I know thats more attainable. To break the high 12's you would need to upgrade the stock turbo to a certain degree along with all the other goodies, also like 12AKid said a good set of tires and a good clutch setup is needed as well.

Sell or throw away that turbo, get yours sent out for a BNR stage 1 or possibly stage 2. Do a search, im sure you will learn a lot.

fuel cut is ECU, has nothing to do with injectors or fuel pump. Unless your idea of fuel cut is predet...?

For the flywheel and clucth, go with ACT if you're short on cash ( 700$ for the whole kit ) but if you want something better, go with the cuzco kit.

I have to as I will do a lot agree with Ted.. lol Plus I love his posts... But I will say that while in 1/4 races r/t doesn't mean a whole lot, you sure look like a dumb a$$ with anything over .8

As for this

One thing you will find is that things you have heard about piston driven turbo motors do not apply to Rotaries on the same scale. You can run a much larger turbo on a rotary than you could on a 4 cyl and have a much quicker spool than you would on a 4 cyl. I am calling BS on this whole thread. You don't just blow money on a turbo and wastegate and not ask a few questions 1st. And if you do sell your Tii to someone actually interested in cars.

If your drag racing you want to keep the stock flywheel. Its heavier so it stores more kenitic(sp?) energy.

Stock turbo, full exhaust, intake will do mid 13's all day long.
A set of slicks will easily get that last half a second off.
The (stock) clutch is not going to like it, but it is doable.
