FT. Drum, I'll be up there in June. I have a medical detail for some MP's that are going up to do some training. I'm a medic in the guard and it's my Annual Training. How many RX7's are out there?

when you first started it did it smoke at all from the turbo or exhaust, make any noise, if not then there mite have not been any problems on his end of the deal. will he refund you, some of it at least? what's a rebuild going to cost on something like that. maby it was rebuilt with generic parts and not balanced to specks.

its a shitty thing to happen but if you saw any smoke when you first started it up and still drove it for just 2 miles not to mention 200 then it was blown when you got it (he should refund you) but if it took a dump on you then maby the rebuilder will warrenty his work and i wouldnt think 88rxn/a AKA tom port.. AKA streetport should need to worry about it.

just my 2cts

I dont really understand your post...but it kinda sounds like you have driven the car on the turbo and all, which really makes it not hit fault if you blow up the turbo.

Also, do you have an oil restrictor in your oil feed? Is your drain line a straight shot and clear?
