As it turns out, I am going to be using my turbo only for mild boost and
normalization. Keeping that in mind, I am considering installing high
compression rotors in the engine that I am currently building up. I am
talking a max MAP of about 40" but most of the time running a MAP around
32". I do have an intercooler and see max intake temps of about 110 deg
F. Street porting.
Who thinks this is a bad idea? How about if I limited max MAP to about
38" (5 psi boost)?

I think it is a bad idea Dave and so does Mazda. Even though the second
gen was limited to 5 psi boost they reduced the compression ratio.
Detonation is a nasty thing. Why risk it for little or no advantage.
BTW I just finished a book called Masters of Chaos. Iraq from
a ground pounders point of view. ISBN I-58648-249-I by Linda Robinson.
If you have any spare time while in East LA 12 on and 12 off or out
camping it would be a good book to read IMHO.
