There are plenty of turbo-charged RX-8's out there. My question pertains to the compatibility. If someone wanted the most low-end they could get and then run 6-8 lbs of boost... the curiosity becomes whether or not the RX-8 rotors are drop in for an REW.

I don't necessarily plan on doing it, just curious if it is possible. I might build my backup engine this way just for S&Gs if there are no fitment issues.
