I Need Help!!!

[GNflyby]

For the past few months my car has been smoking, it turns out its the turbo seal. Okay, so I purchased a used turbo with low miles from a forum member, and it arrived today, Great! Here goes the NEW problem, now my car is spuddering and it actually left me abandon, and it had to be towed. And I can't tell you how it made me feel seeing my baby on that flatbed! Now this is the first time this has ever happend to me, I just want to know if this is because the turbo is bad or is there something else wrong with her. Thanks in advance, GNflyby.

1987 GN.

I could be all wrong on this, but I don't think a turbo swap would keep your car from running.
Trouble shoot it like it was a non-turbo car and try to figure out what's up.
Back-track and review what got changed in the process of changing the turbo.
Sorry if that's not much help.
Hope you are up and boosting soon.

Maby MAF sensor, check connectors. If it's connected disconnect it and see if car runs better or worse.

An SES light?

Any trouble codes?
