There is a very good chance that you have popped a hose off & are leaking boost & or vacum causing the turbos to fail from boosting.

Remember also that your RX-7 is 12 years old. Back in 92, Mazda didn't intend the pipes to last that long. They may be brittle & or cracked.

First thing is to get a boost gauge. Without one, you are basically pissing into the wind.

After you have your boost gauge, you need to test your boost pattern:

The boost test will help you diagnose what area is causing a problem:
