I'm blowing white smoke out my exhaust when I let off the gas pedal and then step on it again. I know the smoke is from me burning oil, but it only happens when im boosting. Whats going on?

 

blown turbo seals???

Is it using a lot of oil? Have you done a compression test?

 

white smoke is indicative of water...have you ruled that out first?

 

if your burning oil, i don't believe you will see some from your exhaust. you will smell burning oil if anything. its more than likely a seal. what is the condition of your head gasket.

 

well this happened to a friend of mine and he had to replace the turbo..i dont know if it would be the same in ur case..but when he hit boost it blew out a crap ton of white smoke out of the exhaust so he took it to a shop and they said his turbo was crapped out...u may wanna have a mechanic who knows about turbos look at it...GL

 

My friend installed a new turbo in the car right before i bought it. It was a new turbo from ebay But it does not use that much oil. if i don't make it smoke a lot 1 quart lasts more than a month. I am in the middle of doing a compression check. i should have the time to do it tomorrow. could a fuel tip in, or some thing like that, create that much smoke? But i do smell the synthetic oil burning.

 

i hope he didn't get a turbo from ssautochrome. if so, tell him to start looking for another turbo pronto.

 

white smoke is antifreeze burning. You need to redo your head gasket....better do it now before the gasket fails completely and that crap gets into your oil and chews the crap out of your main bearings and turbo........
