yup, it's possible, in fact Mazda's already commisioned a company to do it. I just can't rememebr what company it is though. It'll be just one big single stage turbo(mainly because there were many problems with the twin turbo's in the Rx-7) .
Only downside I can possibly see to this option, you'll probably have to give up the sweet sweet sound of a N/A rotary engine that rev's to 12,000RPM. I can still only dream of what that must sound like. I can't wait till they actually release it so that i can see one in action.
