No it is not a turbo. Turbo rotaries are more trouble than they are worth. You litterally must have an insane relationship with your car if you drive a boosted rotary, cause you will be jacking with it all the time and not to have fun, but to keep it running. Only in the world of RX7s will you hear someone say "I am only on my 2nd or 3rd engine for my Turbo7"...and they will sound GLAD!
I had a turbo car a few years back and liked it...it had pistons which meant I could work on it. Rotaries have 3 moving parts..something goes bad in the slightest way with one of the 3... and you get to do an engine rebuild and it aint cheap. So if anyone is in the Dallas area and wants a clean clean RX7 for cheap(GTU model with 4:30 rearend) email me...
