Not seeing much improved spoolup which is what I was hoping for ........ but i'll take more peak power as a close second ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
No way I'm going Adaptronics and losing the stock driveability I have now . Might see what the software designer of ME can do .

Your hitting the voltage limit of the MAF no? The only way to fix it would be to use a different MAF or a larger diameter pipe with a rescaled MAF. It's not a software problem.
I've gotten near OE drivability out of a Microtech and with some assistance of Mazdaedit for some minor tweaks. Adaptronic is a much more advanced system with closed loop fuel control so it would be even better with that. You can basically tell it what AFR's you want it to run and it will tune the map for you.
You need to go full 3" already. This is something the RX-7 guys have known for ages :P

Just because something is hair brained that doesn't mean one who can navigate its train wreck of tables is skilled, LOL.
With New Zealand being so close to Australia it's a shame you haven't had a chance to use the platform.

Still thinking about possible causes for so much oil in the catchcan .
I'm leaning towards the issue being more to do with air leaking through the turbo into the sump than anything to do with the side seals.
Also : could be related to my increasing the oil pressure recently.

Yeah my issue is/was weird, the catch can has very little oil in it and the inter-cooler did not have much but the diverter valve and the intake piping had quite a bit in it. But lately it has not been an issue. Every once in a while I get random smoke from oil burning too and I can't figure it out for the life of me but I have a hunch it is due to having too much oil pressure at the turbo feed.
I actually found a company that makes a pressure regulator for rotaries for the turbo oil feed line. They are making a new design (oil filter pedestal with npt ports, regulator, and -10AN in and out fittings.) that will be better suited for our setup so I am waiting on that to be available.

rev it up
I had my UIM out and there was a hint of oil in the pipe and the catch can have a few ounces. I used to get a lot of blow by in the past however it has subsided a lot since the last tune where the timing was retarded.

I just did a boost leak test. And I could hear my oil girgle with the oil cap off. It was from the turbo even thought your turbos have been rebuilt perhaps they need slightly oversized bearings because of normal wear and tear?

I had some oil coming thru until I installed a restrictor. CompTurbo doesn't include them for whatever reason, but I came across a local dealer that helped me out. The restrictor includes a filter. After installing I no longer have oil coming thru and the turbo spools faster.

It needs to be replaced with every rebuild. If they reused it by mistake that would cause a major issue.
The bearings aren't going to cause an oil leak at all. their job is to allow oil to move past and through them then dump out of the turbo.

Of course I had bigger problems at the time too.

Doesn't matter if turbo has just been rebuilt or not.
This is what first alerted me to the possibility that the 'blowby' that people typically associate with leakage past the side seals is more likely to be leakage past the turbo seals.
