Question Questions on Turbos and Rotaries...

I'm Just Curious I would like to learn more about Rotary engines and the Twin Turbo setup.

First about the turbos,... what are the stock PSI on a 93 RX7 TT??? And does the PSIs work together? like for example, if one turbo is 5psi and the other is 10 psi, would it be a total of 15 psis???
If I want to increase the boost via a boost controller, ummm, I don't get it, would I need 2 boost controllers?? Does the stock turbos come with internal or external wastegates???

What size of turbos does it got?? is it one small one for fast spool ups and a bigger one for the top end???

Is it possible for a 4 cylinder to have a twin turbo set up??

Ok, now for rotary engines....
You know when people want to boost up the engines they would need stronger pistons and rods? For rotaries, what do you exactly upgrade to get a much bigger turbo??? I know the 93's and up RX7s can hold alot of power, but what if it was a Non turbo 2nd Gen RX7??? hmmm,... do rotaries even have compression?? persay like pistons,.....(just get a head gasket to lower the compression)....... damn, how exactly does a rotary engine work??????

Sorry for my stupidity,... but I'm Just Curious

Thanks in advance.

twins on a 4cyl would be less productive than a single

4cyl's are easy to turbocharge

stock internals can handle a good amount of power

take english lessons more seriously

Ive got a quick question that Ill piggy back on this Thread, that I cant get a clear answer to. DO YOU GET SECONDARY BOOST IN FIRST GEAR?? I get it in every gear except 1st. *recently found the leak and fixed it but still no 2ndary boost in 1st gear. Is that because of the ECU or something?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I get secondary boost in 1st on my '93 VR touring. I can tell by the extra pull and also the change in sound when the secondary takes over. I think you might have another problem somewhere bro. But then again, I'm not a pro at this game yet. Hope that helps some. Laterz.
