Another dead engine?

I just got done installing new turbos on the car. I had assumed that the seals were blown because there was oil in the intake tubes and the car ran like crap. Got the turbos on and it seemed to run better. Blue smoke cleared out so I took it for a test drive. It acted strange. Sometimes it would run smooth, then it would start to cough. Parked it, later on I started it back up and now its banging and shakin like its missing on a rotor and the oil pressure is almost 0. Now it blows blue smoke more than ever. ****. Did I blow a seal in the engine?

STOP starting the car and read: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Do a few engine checks.

ok, do you think a blown turbo seal could cause this?

It's pretty standard for a rotary to get oil in the intake...That's just the nature of the motor. That said, read what Jeff posted.
