[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 16327795, member: 4781"] Probably the same reason Callaway went away from turbocharging and now exclusively use their stand alone TVS S/C for all their offerings. Reeves learned that turbos was hard on the exhaust system everything from the headers down to the tailpipe, but they really was bad for the catalytic converters. Reeves said that the Sledgehammer 895 HP vette he made in 1988 would need to swap out the cats every 20,000 miles due to the extra heat they caused to the exhaust system. That can get expensive real quick. Oh the Wankel rotary engine they have the exact opposite where a turbo would cool the exhaust to the point that a cat couldn't function right and so not be able to take out the hydro carbons the engine emitted. Hence why Mazda didn't offer a factory turbo RX8 due to this. Just showing the difference between a reciprocating and rotary engine and turbo systems to each. [/QUOTE]
