Unhappy multiple problems

hey guys, lately my car has been acting funny, ex boost with no power, cooling problems, but to day for no peticular reason, i decided to give my car a good rev, right around 6k i got what almost sounded like an exhaust leak. Im not real sure though, it chattered and sounded like a bunch of air rushing out. Is it possible that my manifold or turbo housing is cracked? lately ill see full boost but the power wont kick in until i give it more gas than what feels right, and when it kicks in it kicks in abruptly hard. when im boosting, my turbo will seems to scream unusually loud, at certain points it will have a slight abnormal whistle. my car is definitly running strange lately and i just want to get the damn thing running right for at least a day if you have any info or advice id appreciate it, thanks -alex

Rotaries are notorious for blowing exhaust gaskets out. I've done it atleast 4-5 times. The heat that rotary motors create kills the gasket like 3X faster than a normal piston motor.
