How long do rotarys last if you take good care of them? and what about the turbo on the turbo2?

Some last as long as 200,000+ miles, even with a turbo. Third gens usually don't last that long, though.

The engine on the turbo II can last well over 100,000 miles, non turbos can easily last 200,000+ miles. Most turbos out there get their engines replaced around 120,000 from what I've seen.
