The head gasket is blown. The smoke is partially burned antifreeze. Looks the shop did it wrong.How do u know when ur turbo is messed up?
the turbo won't really cause the problem.%26gt; Turbo's either work, or they don't. I don't think you head gasket is the issue either unless its leaking..
white smoke can come from bad plugs, seals, oil pump.. i'd start with the basic tune-up and go from there.How do u know when ur turbo is messed up?
when oil is burning from the engine it will be a shade of blue coming from the exhaust when antifreeze burns from the engine it is White smokeHow do u know when ur turbo is messed up?
white smoke, isnt that carbon build up? burning to rich/lean?
well i think if it was a bad gasket install it would be leaking a lot,
you will know when your turbo is bad when its not spooling up correctly or at all.. leaks meaning or needs to be rebults
a lot of factors...How do u know when ur turbo is messed up?
All ricers will eventually fail over time due to the stress on the engine from trying to race every car on the road.How do u know when ur turbo is messed up?
if the smoke is whitish, then you're buring antifreeze which means they installed the headgasket incorrectly. if the smoke is bluish, that means you're buring oil. I would take the coupler off the intake side of the turbo to see if there's any oil on it. If so, then it's a bad seal.
