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!

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 just bought this car and now I dont have much money and I know he will charge the **** out of me.. so thats out of the question. Ill prolly have to figure this **** out on my own. Im gonna do a compression test today.
