My vote would be no if I was paying for it. More likely to have detonation problems and less likely to benefit as much from boost as a lower compression engine.

Should the Renesis, with the 10:1 rotors, be turboed or supercharged? Isn’t this too much compression to add more air?

    Renesis...........These

    guys plus a few others (Dave Leonard and Steve Brooks) are
    turboed...........

    Dave is flying a T3/T4 hybrid if I recall correctly.........Jump
    in here Dave..........


No, mine is a full big shaft TO4 with a 60-1 compressor and housing. For ease of installation it as just been put into the stock turbine housing.
