white smoke = turbo
blue/greyish smoke = bottom end

07-08-07, 13:34 GMT+10#13 I suppose it depends on thickness and duration of the smoke. It sucks when you see a turbo completley die in the arse. THen its just a traaaaaaail of thick whiite smoke..zomg its a sad sight

23-08-07, 14:15 GMT+10#16 check the auto tans modulator, as i had this happen and i pulled off the turbo and tryed another one = same smoke, pulled off the head and replaced the valve steam seals. put the pos back together and it was still smoking, checked the line to the vac modulator and it was full of transmission oil and that was the problem. so check the modulator first!!!
