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.

The dynamic chamber would still work with turbocharging (Mazda used it) but
I would agree that it is not worth the effort in an aircraft application
where space and weight are at a premium.  I'd just use the cleanest intake
manifold possible with the turbo.  I have pretty well decided on the turbo
13B (instead of  NA 20B) for my RV-8 project.   I do plan to do the things
necessary to insure the engine runs well enough to fly the plane in the
event of total turbocharger failure.
