I would go TII swap first. That is what I am running my FB. The PP would be fun for the track, but not much fun on the street due to the high RPM powerband. Plus engine life on a PP would be shorter,

It really just depends on what you are looking for. N/A rotaries are just gonna be limited due to displacement. A stock TII with the boost turned up on the stock turbo will make around the same hp as a BP N/A 13B.

nope.

I daily drove my TII hard and never had issues. Oil changes with 20w50 every 2500 miles, maintenance and TLC and you'll have a pimp ride.

As with any other rotary:

cooling mods are a must
