What Dave says is true, Joe. Stay away from the stock turbo, or even a 
clipped one. It'll blow in the end. My third one took out an apex seal 
and cost me an engine rebuild including a new housing. Details of the 
turbo I'm using now are in the article "Rotary Engines - Why and How" 
attached to the following link.

I now have over 50 hours on this turbo with no problems.
