do i have to take it to mazda to have the check done? or would my mechanic have something to test it? and i cant fire the mechanic tho cause hes a good guy, hes had about 16 1st gens but no 2nd or 3rd gens. he accually builds them to race. so i trust him to work on it. like i said hes just more familiar with 12As not so much 13Bs. and how can i check the turbo? is there a test for that?

12a's only? What kind of rotary mechanic doesn't deal with all generations? surely the amount of 12a's in any area cannot support my jock strap let alone a shop. C'mon... don't jerk us off.... No TPS? I guess there's no OMP either? Carb only as well? If you would prefer to live in the stone age then you should continue your current strategy to the fullest. Just do a bridgeport with a carburaetor you'll be just fine farting down the road.

You can buy a compression checker and test it yourself. You could even use a piston engine compression checker if you follow the procedures below

4) Have a friend crank it with the throttle full open.
5) Open the air relief valve. Watch the tester for EVEN PULSES. You are not looking for a number at this point because of what I stated above. Just look for very even pulses...there should be 3 in a row.
6) Now close the air relief valve and let it reach a total pressure...this will only take about 3 seconds.
7) This is your compression. If all the pulses from #5 were even, then the number you get in #6 will be the compression all the way around the rotor
8) Repeat with the other rotor.

thanks ill get the tester from my step dads shop, or ill just take it over there and let him do it, hes gotta check a few things on the car anyway before i make the sale final for buying this TII. ill let him know about this method cause it is a piston engine checker so he'll need to know this im sure. thanks tho
