looking for a rotary shop to inspect in SoCal

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?&m...del=RX7#vdptop
I am going to Temecula next week to check out this rex i was wondering if anyone knows a shop in the area that will inspect a rotary well. it has a brand new motor so i can't check the boost yet but the owner said the turbo's were off a 2002 motor, i am guessing i need a boost controller before i even think about boosting because 99+ turbos run 12psi and the 93 ECU won't handle. anyone that wants to put in their 2cents please do so
Thanks

I thought that the TT boost @12psi stock?. Anyways looks like a good price for an FD with a rebuild. Check to see if he has some reciepts. And check to see at least if the housing or the whole block looks clean I.E no oil leaks anywhere?.

3rd gens in the states run 10psi with a momentary dip to 8psi when the second turbo comes online

even if the turbos are from the newer 280hp version that does not mean you will automatically boost 12lbs. You will need the newer metal ifini y-pipe and metal crossover pipe and you should get 11lbs with the newer turbo. I beleive there is a shop in/near Temecula and there is one or two guys on here from there.
