Colyn,

Yes, there have been a few.  Dave Leonard and Tom Parkes names comes to
mind.  The rotary is a very good match for a turbo, but the problem is
finding a turbo that can stand up to the rotary.  The few that have tried it
have spent a good chunk of change trying to find a combination that will
handle the severe beating that the rotary dishes out.  (Higher exhaust temps
and no exhaust valves to soften the exhaust pulses.)  The good news is that
a failed turbo still allows the engine to continue running, albeit at
reduced power.  The "turbo guys" are getting closer on finding the right
combination for airborn rotary.

The two big issues are heat and overspeed.  Inconnel turbo blades are
mandatory.

I initially was going the turbo route, but eventually decided on the simpler
route and go n/a.  I think it was a good decision.  My engine is a turbo
version, so if I every decide that I want to turbo-charge, then it will be a
bit simpler undertaking.

Mark
