I'm building an RV 6A and am considering a Mazda Rotary. I been on the
newletter line for a couple on months and have tried to learn as much as
possible I have Tracy's book and newsletters etc. I have the opportunity to
purchase an engine and am giving serious consideration to using a turbo. I
gather that the Mazda turbo isn't the answer from some comments on the
newsletter.

Help! which engine should I get?
Should I get the Mazda turbo?
Any other suggestions welcome.

You can get it but I don't think it will hold up in aircraft 
service. IMHO you need a Inconel turbine. Turbonetics sells them.
If it cost more I think you will be wasting money.
Also it probably is the wrong size and those cast iron manifolds
are way too heavy and sometimes crack.
