Unhappy Need help around Ft Lauderdale

Hey guys. I live in Davie now and just got back my FC. well after the turbo swap and all. I drive my car from Orlando and it was all fine and dandy. today it turns on but it has a very violent shake to it, cant even seems to run, feels like is choking or something. I look at the lines, and I see that there are pleanty of lines that are just not connected anywhere.
Fuego Racing Orlando scewed me on this on. I am leaving to China on Oct 6 and wont be back till about 2 months. I called his *** and he says, ohh I think it is running on 1 rotor. I was like ****, its your fault. Now I am stuck with a so called rebuilt streetported engine that aint moving.
Can anyone around Ft Lauderdale pass by to tell me if it really is a 1 rotor problem or something I cant see. Well given the fact that all the **** is crazy up in there. Thanks

i dont think its the drive shaft, the idle is really low, just bearly below 500. and the whole engine shakes bad. Also the boost gauge pulses. so I know thats not a good thing

thanks fellas, i will drive , wait, whatever lol. I aint doing nothing till oct 6 when i leave to china, thanks, tweak, miami is a bit farr with this studder i think, then again, i would drive it out there.
but i will wait for jm85 for that test to see, if that fails, then i will drive down to you, once the car builds speed, she keeps on going, its getting out first that is almost impossible.

JM85 came by my home and did a compression check and these are the following numbers.
front rotor 115
rear 95

I called my mech and told him the numbers and he stated that since its still a fresh engine, it hasnt sat in yet. the engine has 414 miles on it. still idle is ruff. JM85 thinks it can me the injectors, which it seems like the culprit. I wont know yet since I need to get them removed and swaped, thanks JM for that idea. I hope this will help. Tweak. I am still down with checking all them other loose ends. Let me know. I can drive out there, just cant do too much walking since I am on crutches. and yes. I still drive the 7 like this lol.

Why dont you take your car to a shop in your area? I am sure there are some rotary mechanics in your city.
