bump

 

i wanna know also. im gettin white smoke out of my turbo too. someone help.

 

Thick white smoke can be a number of things. However the smoke smells different when burnt through the turbo than it does when it burnt throught he engine. Really dirty and Hydro Carbony smell. Usually the same thing occurs when you use a -4AN oil feed ine instead of -3AN. Too much oil altogether can just push out. A kinked or too small oil return line can cause that too.
