white = coolant
black = fuel
blue = oil

Coolant for sure. Time to see if you can light your coolant with a lighter. If so your HG is toast.

Could it be that it's a brand new turbo? Mine smoked for a day then stopped.

Dude, just smell the exhaust.

Sweet = Coolant.

Burning oil = Washer flu.. I mean Oil..

My Guess is that you have too much oil pressure going to the turbo, and your blowing past a seal. Is this a ball bearing turbo by any chance?

dude, what does your exhaust smell like?

Is it sweet? Fuelish? Or like burning oil?

Why, so you can burn new coolant instead of yucky old stuff?

Changing your coolant will not help. It is not burning your coolant because it is old it is burning it because it is leaking past the head gasket. You need to rplace the head gasket and when you do that have the head checked for cracks. Most likly it is just a bad head gasket. Do not continue to drive it as I bet it has contaminated your oil or will soon.

What about it exactly makes it for "turbo" applications?

Check your coolant overflow cap. It smoked white when I overfilled the coolant and I think the cap was kind of welded there so it didn't overflow......
