*Newbie....
If not in boost theres no threat to driving 200+ miles right?
What about hard driving on a closed circuit track? 2 mile track in full boost alot of the time... not recommended or what?

a road trip is fine it doesn't matter how far you go, it is a car

haven't done the circuit track but if you are in full boost for a while I would keep a good eye on your temp gauge (not the stock one)
have your car prepared for this track event and be ready to slow down if your temps rise too much

well said. If you are boosting a lot then the turbos are going to put out more heat that usual so you under hood temps will increase. A good way around that is to use a vented hood such as the knightsports hood which as a vent right above the turbo location. You will still need to make sure that your cooling system is up to par if you are going to be boosting the majority of your drive.

Ok, cuz I was more concerned with how the engine itself would handle the constant load.
thanks for the info.

Engine is fine. The thing you need to worry about is overheating. If you overheat or overboost a rotary engine then there is a very good likelihood of poping it.

I agree w/ TT. Long distance highway drives are the easiest on our cars. Cruising in 5th gear is nothing for the engine. When you are at the track, keep an eye on an aftermarket temp gauge. Make sure you have enough cooling for that engine. It is better to run when it is cool outside as well (below 75 degrees).
