So i was having thick white smoke coming out of my exhaust so i figured my turbo seals blew.
I took the turbo kit off and ran N/A and the car ran fine with no white smoke or anything
I have a brand new turbo on it now and now it smokes again.
what could be the problem?

Running the proper oil restrictor for your turbo? I had smoke also, and had to go through 4 different oil return line setups before finding one that would cause any restriction. I've never seen it be that sensitive before, but whatever. Take a pic of your setup.

i'll be sure to get a picture tomorrow..
the thing also that i didnt mention before is that..for awhile, the car ran perfectly fine and then one day i just felt a loss of power, thick white smoke behind me, bov not really loud as normal.
right now im not running an oil restrictor, but i'll go pick one one and see if it helps

Coolant problem. You ran fine with N/A, as soon as you switched to FI, white smoke appears. Probable cause: head lift from increased pressures. Retorque your cylinder head and see what happens. Check your radiator for any foreign particles in coolant.

sorry for the late reply..
i checked my plugs again and there was oil in the cylinder where the plugs go..i just cleaned it out..dropped new plugs in..and it was fixed haha
i was sure i checked the plugs before i went n/a
if not..i spent 700 bucks to change spark plugs haha
