OK, details first.

98 EK, built gsr motor, new t3/to4e, uberdata (w/ a tune that i KNOW works on my exact setup, including the 450 DSM injectors).

Car is stuttering real bad, barely drivable, blowing white smoke (partially b/c of the new turbo install, i got alot of oil in the turbo/downpipe/exhaust).

Well, now I have oil in my muffler that has a greenish tint to it (coolant).

I am terrified that it is a headgasket, but the entire motor only has 500 miles on it.

Any other ideas????

Thanks in advance.

 

check your plugs....

unless your turbo is leaking oil and coolant (asuming its a water cooled turbo) then it has to be your head gasket.....

 

plugs are good, no white on them at all.....
turbo is not water cooled.

 

still sounds like your hg

/edit: they're not hard to replace though i've never even put a wrench to a b-series i doubt its much harder than a d

 

bump

 

drained coolant and oil out of the motor, there didnt seem to be any mixing.....
any other ideas???

 

Had same problem although it didn't make it to my muffler, but i DID find it in my exhaust housing which isn't good.

It was definatly the headgasket, replaced it in a few hours, no biggie.
