Help!! Many problems!
 
ok.. first off my car was idleing really rough at about 500 rmps. and the vacume would sit at about 10.. then the next day I fired it up to play with it a little and it started smoking a bluish/white smoke (it filled up the whole street) and the oil pressure dropped to 0.. so I poped the hood and there was smoke comming out of the turbo.. I guess I blew the turbo somehow?? please help.. this is my first rx7 and I just bought it last week and I cant even drive the damn thing!

It should normally be ~15inHg at 750RPM.
A faster idle speed setting will pull more vacuum.

The smoke from the turbo, along with 0 oil pressure sounds like a big external leak in the turbo oil supply line.
Hopefully you caught it before any harm was done.
Trace it & fix it.

I didnt see any leak.. but there is oil comming out of the turbo. Im pretty sure its gone.

Why don't you take it to Kevin Landers and have him fix the car???

Kevin, does repair turbo's as in the part. But he would probably help you fix a turbo car.
