Seeing how most of the problems with the 3rd gen RX-7 were due to the sorry factory twin turbo setup (most people convert it to a more reliable aftermarket single turbo) - I have to wonder WHY would anyone want to have a tri-turbo setup??

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, it's a 3 rotor. I guess if the guy had the coin to convert to a 3 rotor why not just put on 3 turbos. Looks like it would be more efficiant to have one turbo per intake so you can use smaller/faster spooling turbines instead of one big/slower spooling turbine for all 3 intakes. Just IMO.

Rep Power: 0 well if u want looks then go with 3 turbo's if u want speed just go with one large one it will spool faster..but the thing with rotary's is rotary's itself not many ppl know how to fix them and lots of electrical problems

Not that strange, I guess...remember the Bugatti EB110 of the mid 90's? That thing had a quad-turbo V-12--one turbo per each 3 cylinders.[hr]
