Question FI Options

K... So heres my problem... im stuck on deciding what to get..

im looking for a FI system that will give me a nice amount of smooth power but also something that wont screw my engine over or cost over 7000US..

iv heard lots of people with the Greddy kit that have had engine problems after 35,000kms with it bolted on due to the somewhat high PSI they put out

iv also been looking at the pettit super charger but iv also heard SC+Rotaries = The *****

sooo i really dont know what i should do... and i figured you guys here probably knew alot more about this kinda of stuff and rotaries than other forums iv been on asking around... i just want something reasonably priced thats going to give me that extra little boost and wont mess up my engine (if there is such a thing).. im new to the whole rotary engine and all the parts for it and whats good and what isnt so could you please help me out

if anyone has and suggestions i would love to hear them

thanks,
Chris

I do not know where you heard that s/c and rotaries do not mix. I have one and love it. There is always a difference of opinion between s/c fans and t/c fans about which is the best. I'm not telling you a s/c is best just that it works well on the 8. As far as the Greddy t/c ruining engines, do a little research an you will find that the nay sayers were trying to exceed what the unit/kit was designed for. While not perfect, if used as designed will work just fine. There are a couple of threads that deal exclusively with this subject - you may wish to search a little and your questions will be answered.
