Can you post "exactly" what's on the car? You could have an ignition problem (old/bad spark plugs) or you could be hitting fuel cut depending on what's already on the car.

Full exhaust meaning what? Downpipe, midpipe or hi-flow cat or stock cat, catback?

Ok. Do you have a boost gauge installed?

The hi-flow shouldn't be a problem, but you never know. Do you know when the last routine maintenance was done (like changing the spark plugs and wires)?

you really need to spend some time reading the FAQs. they have tons of good info that can get you pointed in the right direction about what may be wrong with your car and what mods can be dangerous. it sounds like you should take it easy for now or you might blow the motor. turbo rotaries will blow a motor quick if you install the wrong mods in the wrong order.

if you aren't a very mechanically minded person, you should also consider finding an rx7 specialist near your area to take your car to. check the regional forums for a listing in your area.
