 Your best bet is to hit the wrecking yard and fine another core engine to get the two housings from and a pair of matched rotors, if you didn't know there is a letter weight code on the rotors that must match.

Unfortunately, I'd need to buy two engine cores in order to get the housings (turbo), and rotor (NA).  Probably cheaper, and definitely easier to just order them new.    I had no idea what that S on the rotors meant.  Both were ordered new from Mazda a couple years ago.  I wonder what the chances of getting another S would be.  I guess I could order two rotors (assuming they'd be the same), and that would give me a third 9.7 rotor for the single rotor project.  As expensive as the rotors are, it might be worth buying two core engines.  Man, just too many options to consider. 
 
Thanks (for giving me something else to worry about)
Rusty
