Im going to get some pics up tonight, I drove it around all last night and Im very impressed with it, it has fd brakes up front so it stops like *****, and im suprised with how much torque it has at 1.1 bar... also threw a 2 foot flame shifting into second wich is always nice.

Here's a few pics, also its only running about .5 bar right now. so like 8 psi or so, how much is a safe limit for boost with stock turbo, injectors, but a hks f-con, intake, exhaust and intercooler

Thanks guys, ive been getting some time behind the wheel and learning the car more, I must say it behaves very well and I really like the way a rotary engine feels. The power seems to die off at higher rpm's, around 6 grand or so, It has full exhaust including downpipe and all but is that just because the boost seems to teater off a bit? Or just the stock turbo running out of steem? Either way Ive already been in contact with force fed motorsports and they said they would rebuild the engine with a street port for $4500. Im thinking I may source a turbo kit and injectors, and a clutch and get the engine built and new everything else installed at once then dyno tuned, Id like a reliable 350whp and be able to run mid 12's or so. Does that sound feasible?
