TX Getting an 87TII w/a 89TII engine to stay on

Man im in need of some serious help. Heres the situation I have an 87TII with an 89TII engine. The swap was done by Rotary Performance in dallas. The car ran bad *** for about 3 months and then died. It then sat for about five years and then given to me. I own an 87NA so am kinda familiar with the rotary. The turbo has all kind of new parts and not to mention a damn near new engine. Well Ive been trying to get it started and it did start for like a whole 2 minutes but know i cant get it to stay on for more than a couple of seconds. Ive changed the fuel pump, filter, and lines and done the ATF treatment a couple of times. When the car did start a crap load of white smoke was all over the place. I really need some help getting the turbo started. oh also when it does start it revs up to 4k and then dies immediately.

I would push start it and force it to drive, then turn it off and see what happens.

Well its just making the rebuild worse and worse and worse by putting atf in there. Atf kills apex seals, never use it again. Use tranny oil.
