The engine bay isnt a stock color. Its more of a burn orange, copper color. Which leads me to belive that this guy has a little bit of money into this car. We need more info and pics.

Also what would a properly designed header look like? Longer runners befor the Y. I have never worked on a n/a rotory,

If you take a look at all the high dollar N/A headers, you might get an idea of what works on these things...

I have a sneaking suspicion that there's more to this than making an FC out of an FD.

AN fittings?

AN fittings- not stock, not cheap, and no reason to do it if you're lowering the output.

Maybe he's just breaking it in without boost? Or maybe he had a bunch of modifications on it and went through several motors and at this point is tired of replacing the motor and turbos or doesn't have the finances left to do so?

Wow, there's so much room without turbos. It looks like a little Rotrex centrifugal supercharger would fit nicely in place of the power steering pump.
