I actually have learned some interesting info about the effects of turbos vs superchargers on the engine itself and it is only unique to the Renesis. I'm not going to get into it as it'll start a debate and I'm not even going to say which one it may or may not favor. I need to do more research into the topic but it was interesting to say the least.

I even read a tech document that even the author exclaimed "turbos and rotaries were made for each other"...

Is that close??
or maybe it's not the backpressure, but the heat being generated from the turbo that could cause the flat housings to swell and possibly pinch the rotor a little?
Who's got the waterjacketed turbo manifolds?!?!

The Renesis has no inlet/outlet overlap.
With an overlap, a supercharger can displace the remaining burnt gases with fresh gases in the combustion chamber relatively easily (increasing volumetric efficiency), since it works against little backpressure (as opposed to the compressor wheel of a turbo, which works against a relatively high backpressure).

He said unique to the Renesis though, not just all rotaries. I'm thinking it has something to do with the backpressure created by turbos and the side exhaust ports.

degrade - warping, missing material, dishing, general craptacular heat related stuff...

Lots of ways...if you are really concerned about it...move your snail away...if your REALLY concerned about it...mount it far out back...roto-rocks style...
