3082R on a street ported 13b-REW?

Ok I've tried to do research before asking but I cannot seem to find an answer. I have my 3082R from my previous project car and I just acquired a 13b-rew for my REPU. This engine was already street ported, so we're just going to refresh the seals and such. I know the exhaust housing I have on the turbo won't suffice (mitsubishi style .63), but would I be able to use the turbo with a T4 housing of some sort? I know it's a 600 hp capable turbo on a 4G63. I know it would be less on a rotary. Would 350-400 hp be a feasible goal on pump gas? I still have other things to acquire for my build. Mostly just wondering if I should hold onto it and run it, or sell it and find a 35R? I know that will work for a streetable turbo.

seems like it would be best suited for stock ports.

Turbine is too small for the compressor size in my opinion. Its going to create a ton of backpressure.

Yeah that is pretty much the answer I came too as well. I am going to check and see if it's possible to swap the turbine wheel over to make it a 3582R. If that is than I will be going to a T4 housing. If not than I will just try and sell it.

No, it can't be purchased separately from the CHRA. You really want a T4 footprint turbo on a rotary anyway.

sell it and get a more appropriate turbo. modifying this one would pretty much amount to buying a new turbo in pieces.
