ahhh welll. recently i been seeing smoke come out my muffler. whtie smoke. i know what you guuys are thinking new engine.. lol welll had a bad valve line for my turbo so my setup wasnt wroking and i was running stock. and i noticed it didnt smoke when i didnt run my turbo. then i got everything fixed and once i ran my turbo it started to smoke again? what do u guys think it could be., a bad oil line? has a leak somewhere.?

Blue smoke = Oil
Black smoke = Unburnt fuel
White smoke = Water
White smoke with a sweet smell = Coolant

Is your turbo water cooled? How is your coolant level? How often does it smoke?

its both water and il cooled. but i think it might have to do with the coolant. well water since im using water now since i didnt want it to affect my engine . so it get burned up as soon as it enteres. could be bad gaskets??

it smokes usually whenever im jsut ideling at a light.. or when eveer i spool up or use boost.
deffinantly white smoke not sure of the smell yet.... how could i fix this?

correction not both lol. my mistake,just oil cooled

bad turbo seal, or on most cases a bad return line, the oil is staying on the line and this wil cause it to smoke because of the oil not having anywhere to go. Does the car smoke when you drive it or just at idle, if only at idle its just a bad return line. rout it differently,

yeah it smokes smoke i drive it to. more when i drive it i would say. so maybe the seal?

seal or too much oil pressure.
