Just today I was driving around town (normally) and then when I came to a stop White Smoke poored out from both sides of the door. but before I start let me say some things about the car

-Leaking downpipe (big leak)
-Boost at 15psi
-Recently Bought
-Dipstick has been poping out
-91k miles
-97 g2 spyder

Thats why it came from my doors (leaked out of downpipe). As soon as it happened I pulled over. Pulled the dipstick (normal level). Took off the oil cap to see a little smoke rise out (not much or constant though). Turbo will spool, But once I reach about 10psi i hear a wierd noise from the turbo. Then the psi drops. And a nice white cloud can be seen behind me while moving. At normal speeds no cloud can be seen (untill i come to a light). All vitals are good, Oil pressure builds and holds, Water temp is under half and steady, And idle is steady.

Since it is a new car i have not done a compression test on it yet. Now i plan to do one tomorrow. Along with a boost leak test. Will also check the coolant (too hot now).

I am thinking blown headgasket. But would a blown headgasket affect the turbo like it is on my car?

Second guess is a stock turbo at 91k miles took a crap on me. And blew a seal.

all in all NOT GOOD! but if it is the turbo a T28killer will bolt in real nice :twisted:

A boost leak will make it run really rich which will produce black smoke out of the tail pipe. Oil usually has a blue-ish black smoke, which can come from bad seals in the center housing of the turbo or if the oil from the squirters that shoot oil at the bottom of the piston is getting passed the rings. Coolant burning will produce white smoke. I would start with a compression test. But you might as well do an intake pressure test and leakdown while you're at it.

yea, thats all tomorrow. also going to check for shaft play. pull the downpipe and look for oil. but i wasnt planning a leakdown test. just boost leak, and compression. so you think its a headgasket? but i dont think a head gasket would affect the turbo like that??? and i am not getting a water temp issue at all??
