Rpm would not be an indicator of running on one Rotor.

Do you mean in 5th gear (or 6th if you are in an RX-8) the revs are 3000 at 30 MPH?

Rev\'s shouldn\'t matter as it\'s linked to the gearbox, diff and wheels... If it\'s running on one you\'ll be able to tell, it\'ll be chugging really badly, struggling to rev and even pulling away would be a nightmare.

symptoms are
boost gge fluttering on idle
idle like a pig trying to run a marathon
car vibrating badly(yes mine was even with 2 broken seals)
nightmare to start when warm
sound familiar(most of us have experienced something like this)

nope its not got any of thoes problems yet... saying that it sometimes chugs from 2500 to 3000 rpm in 3rd when accelerating and sometimes on idel the revs bounce up from 1500 to 2000 time for me to get a rebuild?
