why no turbo?
I always hear people say that N/A rotaries can not be turboed... but ive never heard the reasons why... what exactly are all the reasons that N/A motors cant be turboed?

because N/A have high compression rotor, you can put a turbo on a N/A but you cant go more that 6 psi with the proper fuel and ignition or will cause detonation. and is dificult to do.

because 99.9% of every single part on and in the motor is different. the wiring, ECU and senors are different. as well as the tranny, rear end, driveshaft, and half shafts.
