Nice. Looks like a good start.

The last 12A blowthrough I set up for a buddie of mine was a N rotation 9.4 compresion. We used a 45 mikuni, Garrett GT35R antisurge, Locked dizzy, RRFPR, Walbro 225, made 350 rwhp at 15psi. Scary little bastard. Especially since he was on stock suspension and LE 14" wheels.

Hey Joe Thanks for taking this project on for me. Just want to let every single RotorHead in this forum know that is a true blue Dude and a honest man. I am glad I met him cause he knows his sh#t.
He does for rotary what geek squad does for best buy. Thanks Joe.

Maybe some inspiration for the one recieving this setup.

The vid of the 12A blowthrough starts at 6:20. This was the first dyno of this setup. Low timing at 12psi. Made 285rwhp that day.

To tell you the I did not know that, I just got them on ebay when my Brother told me that my original ones where in bad shape so I won the auction and paid under 200.00 for them. Happy to know that they are turbo housing. Thanks for the update.
PS. I'm flying out to FLA friday morning. see ya when I get back.
