Paul,
Today I went to Mazda-Trix to get all the parts for the overhaul.  While I
was there I talked to Lance about the need for a dynamic chamber.  His
opinion was that in my application using the turbo there would be very
little advantage to the dynamic chamber.  He said that the big advantage
comes when the rotary is normally aspirated.  Several other people,
including Bruce Turrentine, seemed to think the same way. I thank all of you
that gave your opinion on dynamic chamber with a turbo charger.

On another subject, we also talked about a new nitrous system that
Mazda-Trix is testing.  He said it could be an excellent standby system for
emergency power if you really needed it.  Also I think it could be used for
A/C racing but TBO would be greatly diminished.  He thought it might be
available in about 2 months if all tests go well.

As Jeff said if you have room for a tuned system you will get a lower
fuel
burn. I do so I am going to use it. I am not going to use a dynamic 
chamber however. A dynamic chamber is just another form of tuned system.
Tracy swears by it for his normally aspirated engine :-)

NOS has been selling Nitrous for the rotary for quite awhile.
http://www.nosnitrous.com/ What is different about Mazdatrix's system?
I know Everett Hatch of Power Sport used the NOS system and the guy up
in
Oregon with the rotary powered Coot also uses it.
