sounds like clogged catalytic..common for rotary engines (turbo cars especially)..they have higher exhaust temp than that of a piston engine..and they don't completely burn fuel so it ends up wreaking havoc with the cat..my .02..

Then check your timing, and rent or buy a comp. tester from discount auto parts or something, they only cost like $20-60, depending on what brand you get and they are surely worth the price.
