sequential seems to have eliminated my problem?...
I've been having a lot of trouble with my engine stuttering at 4500rpm.
After a search I was convinced it was ignition, I checked my sparkys and replaced ( 2 b safe) and still had the problem. Then I started thinking it was a vacume or turbo issue.
Today I completed my poor mans non seq mod, now the car feels great! and the power ( even though boost comes on 3000-4000rpm) is smooth right through the curve to 6500rpm , I managed 16.5psi in a run??!!
So do you think I was right , was it a turbo problem NOT an ignition one??
Or does the non seq correct these kinds of ignition problems??

YES.
Too much charge temp heat for the stock IC, too much airflow for the stock fuel system, and please tell me you aren't running the stock engine management.

Read this, look for something about efficiency or something like that...

Basically, your turbochargers were designed to be run at certain levels of boost. If you exceed this too much, you put extra stress on them, which will cause the turbo's to wear out more quickly.
Even before they wear out, overboosting will cause the air to be hotter, which might lead to detonation, which could destroy your apex seals.
How much boost can your turbo's make safely? The answer to that is beyond my knowledge.
One other thing, which year is your RX7? In NZ, you guys have the 96+ models also, correct?
