someone please help/ mech. problem

i have the greddy profec b spec 2 and the apexi safc. now what happened is i had a boost leak but i didnt know so i turned the boost controller sky high and was wondering why it wasnt working. i found and fixed the leak but didnt lower the boost controller, i was so happy i forgot. i hit over 20lbs. of boost before i let off and it was all in like a split second. but now the idle of my car is horrible and driving it sounds terrible. heres what im assuming: turbos arnt blown because
i still have vacuum. car still runs so engine isnt blown. but heres what scares me; on my afc it monitored the cars pressure, pressure to what i dont know. but usually when the cars idle it will be at 430mg. now on idle its at -47mg. i dont know awhole lot but thats what i got. if i could get some advice that would be great.

Your engine is done. Get a compression check as a double-check but she's done.

Sorry about your accident. Ditch the S-AFC (worthless) and get a PFC to prevent things like this from happening in the future....

the plugs are dirty but there in one peace. what ive been hearing from people i talked to was it could be the apex seal. when the cars idling it dumps smoke and smells like gas.
is it possible i could fix that on my own? if not how much you think it will cost for a rotary mech. to do it?

Go to www.rotaryengineillustrated.com....

Your engine is very likely blown, you will need to rebuild it. Prices will range from $1500-$7000, depending on what is replaced and how many good parts there still are. That price range does NOT include labor for pulling the motor or dropping the rebuilt one back in. It also does not include all of the other things that should/may need to be replaced -- coolant hoses, fuel lines, oil injectors, fuel injectors cleaned, FPD replaced, etc., etc.
