:lol: yep it was, was pouring out the exhaust aswell.

It was really funny, but not at the time, Triple H was crying his eyes out.


But on topic, i think if it's a bit of smoke it should sort it'self out, when i had a new zorst on my old car it smoked a bit for about a week.
if it's alot of smoke somethings definatley wrong.

if its a blowing oil seal it would do it on idle mainly. This was a common thing on the old Punto Gt's nothing when driving along but a nice cloud of white smoke when idling.

But to be honest, dare i mention warranty, get it downt he dealership. although turn any remap you have off or they will just bum you off. Unless you are really lucky and they assume running higher boost does not affect turbo life......lol ( as iF)

really doubting this is the turbo seals as its smoking on idle then when revved it smokes a bit more but after a few revs couple of minuites later it clears??? putting the loss of power last night down to traction control kicking in :D wont be new exhaust burning off as have givin it a good bedding in :D im thinking its down to condensation as the smoke is white and the coolant is fine.

triple d if i put the jbs04 turbo on my car you wouldnt even beable to see the back of my car its gone past so fast 280-300bhp!

I would say it depends if the seals are proper fooked or not

they may have just been breached and be passing oil a little, but if that's the case it will smoke more as the seals deteriorate

EGSAMPLE....you can have a head gasket fail and just have a little white sludge that gets worse after a few months

or you can have a catastrophic head gasket failure and have water poring out of your dip stick hole right from the start

:think:
