Help, TII barely runs...

I wasn't sure where to put this, the 2nd gen section or here but you guys seem to know a lot more so....

Here's the deal, I just bought another 88 RX-7 TII. Its alomst stock except for a FCD and cheap downpipe so im guessing it was run hard but it does run (barely). I have to hold the gas peddle to the floor to keep it going. There was a lot of white smoke coming from the LIM/turbo area of the engine. I took the UIM off and found the primary injectors were leaking fuel down onto the turbo. I ordered new insulators and grommets and fixed all the fuel leaks but nothing changed. It still barely runs and smoke is still puffing out from somewhere on the turbo. I put cardboard back under the motor and saw that fuel is dripping from the turbo as I crank the motor over.

What could be wrong?

Thanks,
Ryan

Are you sure it's fuel that's dripping? Not coolant/water? Also, if you have ABS, your ABS could be leaking and dripping brake fluid onto your turbine housing as well...

If it's still fuel, check your fuel lines, pulsation damper, fuel rails, injectors again and find where the leaks are...

BTW, you would get twice as many responses in the 2nd Gen forum...
