Default help me out please

i boosted my b18a with a garrett t25 turbo.. The oil feed line blew off today. I saw my oil light come on so i pulled right over, re-connected it and now it smokes like crazy... thick white smoke. What do you think the most likely culpret is? Turbo or an engine component? Its really thick white smoke and it fills both lanes right full but its not using a lot oil.

I would say the lack of incoming oil from the blown line destroyed your turbo seals, now its sending oil out of the turbine housing, and out your exhaust.

EDIT: Or just like KyleH stated, may be headgasket failure since you have white smoke. Sorry I neglected to mention that.

Oh boy. If your turbo/engine was eating oil the smoke would be black. White smoke is coolant. Did the car overheat? Do you have a coolant line on that turbo?

If it isn't your turbo its usually your head gasket.
