One thing about P-port engines. Almost any end housing can be used
probably including 12A end housings. All you need is a set of 13B rotor
housings and high compression rotors. A 13B eshaft of course.

Okay...  Maybe a silly question, but how about a turbo on a p-port.  Is there
something fundamental about this that makes it less optimal.  Or is it
just more
 horsepower than anybody is really interested in.  Or maybe heat dissipation
capability of the housings?

An interesting discussion..

Now you are getting in the category of 400 HP per rotor.  Heat dissipation
could become an issue. The rotor housings I have seen in this category
have extensive internal modifications. Auxiliary water ports are used
to increase the flow of coolant through the engine.
In the four rotor Lemans engine cool water was introduce in the center
of the engine and flowed both forward and backwards, reversed and then
flowed back to the center. In high power CW four rotor engines a parallel
cooling system was used where all rotors got cool water in on the cool side
and out on the hot side maintaining a higher average delta T.

The Mazda serial cooling system is less than ideal for real high power rotary
engines.
