OK, that makes a little more sense.

To find out whether it is blown up: http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/blown.htm

Now, assuming it is not blown, you need to look for other causes. Vacuum leaks would be the first thing to check. After that, you might want to pull your upper intake and pressurize the fuel system, because it almost sounds like the rare "injector stuck open" condition.

Running no tid wouldn't blow the motor. Running no AFM, or no intake filter will hurt it yes..alot. Let us know what you find out man.

I guess you conveniently forgot that the turbo AFM is bigger.
There's a point where the non-turbo AFM will max out.
So shoving more air does not trigger the non-turbo AFM to tell the stock ECU there's more air going into the engine.
Think about it - what happens next?
The AFM is the primary load sensor for the stock ECU...

i think your intelligence is probably too low or you just isnt much of a thinker.
Think of it this way. If the NA AFM maxed out, where a T2 AFM is still at 80%.
What happens?
What if the T2 AFM is at 70% when the NA AFM would max out?
What happens?

on BOTH times, the ECU would just GIVE MORE FUEL than normally needed, because it thought the T2 AFM is open all the way.

you should stop spreading misinformation on why anything bad would hapen.

it is obvious you NEVER have had any experience with it.

Wow, what an assumption!
Low voltage to fuel pump...
Corroded connectors...
Still runs RICH at the top end?
You gotta be kidding me.

IF WE'RE ALL RUNNING RICH ALL THE TIME, WHY ARE ALL THE TURBO MOTORS POPPING???

Duh

Your logic is messed.
Stop the bullshit already.

what the hell are you talking about?
low voltage to fuel pump, corroded connectors, that could happen whether it has a NA AFM or a T2 AFM
running the NA AFM would just make the T2 run richer, ALL THE TIME
simple as that

have you ever put a NA AFM in a T2? have you ever driven it like that?

obviously you havent, so if you have NO EXPERIENCE with it, i suggest you shut up
