loss of power please help
ok so im going to try and post this in here considering im new so idk... im desprate at this point and im trying not to be a post *****....
so long story short... ive basically lost half of my power in my 87 turbo II. it spits and sputters and is pretty much gutless now. my turbo will spool really fast but i dont feel any of the boost im reading. it gets crazy hot after a short drive. this all happend after my buddy thought he was helping my by trying to time my car. bad idea. ran great till he messed with it.. then everything went down hill.. timed it back to where it was and now this is going on.
another rotory buddy of mine told me its probably a clogged cat, pulled it off... punched it... still same problem... this is my dd and i have a job that i need to get to and not have to walk 5 miles to anymore. please help. any advice is greatly appreciated.

idk... he is a great mechanic... on piston motors. he is the one that has taught me everything in know... but when it comes to rotorys he is pretty blind. his heart was in the right place but... not his skills. the guy is pretty much my brother and i do forgive for what happened. just sucks.

He is not a great mechanic if he touched something knowing nothing about it.
The only issue with getting a rebuild kit is you will probably also need a rotor, housing and possibly a turbine blade. Apex seal chunks tend to take all three of these out when an turbo rotary pops.
