I don't mind pistons
Read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell, I'm reading it and you can learn a lot from it.
BTW, can anyone else recommend a good book. I got Maximum Boost due to rotorock's suggestion.

Are there any turbocharing books specific to rotaries? I haven't really been able to find any on Amazon.
And just to keep it on topic, if you don't really want to research and what not, the gt35r is supposed to be a good turbo for the rx-8. Also the 60-1, which is cheaper due to the lack of ball bearings.

just be careful on how small you go, because some turbos that come with the greddy kit cant feed the engine enough air after 7000 rpm. Im, only saying some so dont get pissed you greddy owners, but i have seen videos where it says it specifically

A T66 or T70 are way too large for street use unless your goals are well over 400hp. Going larger than you need is just as inefficient as going too small.
My personal favorites are a T04B for sub 350 rwhp performance and a 60-1 (it exists, I had one and it is in fact called a 60-1) for 400 rwhp or so performance. I'm a creature of habit so I'm not into the new GT designated turbos. Use a P trim turbine wheel.
