7mgte to a 1jz or 2jz

sounds like a boost leak. search the online tsrm for vacuum diagrams and make sure they are all hooked up on your car. also check the ic pipes

first i didnt ask you to fix anything i asked about rebuilding or buying a turbo but since you asked it wont idle and i sound like it has an echaust leak it idled for about 3 min then died and when i drove it it ran weak till high RPM's then it was like a burst of speed throwing me in the seat and a cloud of smoke poured out the back so today i am doing plugs and wires and checking the compression and for leaks

so i pulled the plugs out and they were covered in oil and i was only getting 20 psi on 2 cylinders and 170psi on the rest so i just thought i would buy a new motor would any 87 to 92 turbo motor fit or is the a differance

Good to hear!

Do it and then check everything twice. Spark plugs on a turbo are not as chalenging as the NA. Take a bunch of pics of before, during, and after you do this, that way you know what it looks like to put it all back together. I replaced the spark plugs and wires on mine with NGK, I love them, they look good and are very nice. The wires looked like they were from the junkyard, check this pic out, these are the plugs that came out: -NASTY-

so now i am shopping for a new 7mgte for under 1,000 hitting every junk yard i can find that has one that runs and dont smoke i found one with no head of a 90 model i guess i can get my head worked and it will fit right i guess this is what you get when you buy a $500 car at least the body is in good shape with little rust and no dents any ideas

Yea that could work, have a machine shop take a look at the bottom rotating assembly to make sure you get the correct bearings and rings.
