You're 110% right on the money Phil. The combination of high heat and sutty exhaust create havoc for those turbo's. It's a great idea for sure, but reliabilty is a factor. I do plan on talking to Garrett about those as well as I have seen them and actually driven a tank of a boat, a 25' bertram with twin 4cyl Volvo's. I was on the test drive with the mechanic, I was at the helm and he said punch it. I did. I was VERY impressed with the response and torque they generated. When we got back I talked to him about them a little, got to see it first hand, it was actually the turbo that got replaced  and we chatted a little about them. Great idea, but I'm unsure if they could tolerate the rotary's heat.
