What now, remanufactured engine installed?

I just got my 93 FD home with a remanufactured engine installed by the local Mazda dealer. I had bought a used turbocharger on e-bay and it appears to be garbage. The car whines, no boost, car will only go about 60 mph. This is all after I have spent $6,500.00 on all the parts and labor. How much can I expect to get for this car if i sell it as is. It is very frustrating to say the least. Does anyone have any suggestions on my next move. It is hard to go back on the dealer when he installed an item that I had furnished. Really bad situation.

Damn dude, I wish you would have asked the board for advice before embarking on your journey

That was your first mistake.
