Tuning would be an extra $300

I thought that wastegates springs are usually set pretty low, Are you sure you are capable of 400 running off just the wastegate spring?

some kits allow you to keep the airpump for emission purposes.

My friend runs a single on a TIRED stock motor (~55K) and made 390 @ 13.
Most of the power is in the tuning, but porting will help maximize spooling capabilities and overall power.

Both RX6 kits allow retention of the air pump, if i am wrong its just the RX6A.

the obvious two downsides with these turbos is that they are expensive, and if the turbo goes for whatever reason its not rebuildable in the US.

No it's not Turbo'd
There is a GT35/40 in the works that lets you retain the airpump, and the GT35/40 according to estimates is good for 600 hp... @ which point I thought, 2/3 of the max power is a nice safety margin for a turbo... (400hp)
My $0.02

Are those estimates at the engine or wheels, and are they for a piston engine or rotary. If its 600 on the flywheel of a piston engine then thats only around 500 flywheel for a rotary.

But yes, a single is much easier to work on, fix, and maintain... I say go take a ride in a few single RX7s.. Find one that you like and go from there.

Also it is just a medium number. With supras, 400 is really low. Most people who are bosting are going around 7 or800 ponies. I think that 400 is a good daily driver number. Just enough to smoke most of the competition as you drive to and from work. One weekends you can increase the boost to smoke some more at the track.

400rw isnt bad as long as your not dumping the clutch at high rpms...or wheel hopping.
If you run from a roll its fine. Especially if you get a diff brace
