smoke at idle and high revs

ok i have a problem with my car

big backfires at high revs(not sure if this is normal in a rotary or not)

HOLY SILICON BATMAN! Get a throttle body o-ring pleassse. As far as the smoking goes, I have smoking turbos as well, and oil all the way up to the throttle body is sign that the oil seals in the turbos are gone. Are you getting slight amounts of smoke near the turbos?
