you might find that with 3 turbos they dont need wastegates if the rear housings are selected carefully enough

Rotormasters RX7 is def. tripple turbo. What a shame, prob out doing some testing before this weeks jamboree. He would have been one of the favourites to win also. Has been so close to the elusive 6 second pass too. Oh well looks like its up to Archie and George to race into the 6's, and yes Archie has already run a 6, 6.99 @201MPH.
