Any good books/websites regarding the topic? I only know the basics and have read all the articles posted on here.

Thanks.

That's the book I have. If you're looking for rotary specific knowledge though, it's not there. That book will allow you to understand how it all should work though.

You may also check out these books... Their by the same author, and Street Turbocharging also discusses some rotary application.

Street Turbocharging HP1488: Design, Fabrication, Installation, and Tuning of High-Performance Street Turbocharger Systems

Another good book is "Street Turbocharging" from Mark Warner. If you want rotary specific information, Mark also wrote "Street Rotary".

+1 - Street Turbocharging, Street Rotary should be required reading... also Corkey Bell's Maximum Boost was a good read too.

Is Mark Warner the writer that received input from member(s) here for his book(s)? Or was that someone else?

Yea that was him. It's a pretty good book too but it doesn't get super-duper in depth.

Jeff Hartman has a very good turbo book. If you get this one, you'll have the 3 best books out there that I've seen. Jeff's get a bit more technical than the other two.
