Steve, Dave, or anyone else using the stock turbo(s)
On my 20B installation I am considering using the stock turbo system. I would only be using low boost levels. I have a couple of questions for anyone who is using the stock turbos. Were your systems twins turbos? Did you leave both turbos in place? Is over speeding an issue for our mode of operation? What else should I know about using the stock turbos?
Thanks,
Joe
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.
