Unhappy nothing buy trouble!!!

alright first i heard a loud bang almost a month ago brought it to the local shop...ended up being a blown turbo that blew my engine up. so i get a new engine 3200 dollars later...2 weeks latr the engine finally gets put in and runs, that day the apex seals blew so now that engine blew up...so now the shop is sending my old motor to be rebuilt and then hopefully within the next two weeks my car will finally run right...rx7s love trouble dont they lol

Somebody ripped you off, man...

Killing the turbo isn't going to kill the motor, probably the *other* way around. And how the hell do you blow the apex seals on a 'new' motor within a day? That's just stupid. I think you should find a better shop.
