White exhaust smoke

I'm running a ls turbo in my 91 crx and this is how much it smokes. Does my turbo need rebuilt?

Looks like head gasket time, has nothing to do with rebuilding your turbo.

Do a compression test on all four cylinders and check your oil for coolant.

I would lean toward Head Gasket though. Most turbos don't have coolant running through them. Some do.
