Yes. For the most part they are the same.
Brice Daunay has been flying around with a stock
three rotor turbo.

Is there any way to coerce Brice to tell the rest of us what he is getting out
of that engine and how he is doing it?  Sure sounds like the cheapest way
to go if it works!  It's hard to argue with success!

Come to think of it the reason Brice may be having trouble with
the fuselage structure is the weight of the stock turbo's on
that three rotor is considerable. If he had to add ballast
in the nose of his Cozy/Velocity type pusher it may have
overloaded the fuselage in bending. Landing loads and stresses would 
also be higher. One cannot put in an overweight engine and add ballast 
in the other end with impunity.

The stock three rotor engine has two turbos and rather 
heavy cast iron manifolds.
