smokes when in boost
Ive just installed a (used) greddy turbo onto my d15b maybe thre weeks ago. The car seems to smoke a bit when in boost. During idle or no boost, it does just fine. Only when im in boost does it give me this problem. Im not sure what it could be. The smoke is greyish white in color, im thinking it must be the seals on the turbo, but im not an expert. Any help offered is appreciated.

So a possibly blown turbo could still produce some boost? Its weird because my never smokes unless im pushing it into boost, and it feels laggy when in boost. I have freinds with the same setup, but their turbos seem to spool a lot sooner than mines.
