Re:finally boosted but.......

the smell of the smoke is kinda sweet smelling like oil! but i thought oil smoke was blue?

i'd say 99% of the time when u have white smoke coming out of your car the first time u boosted, it is your turbo. it's a volvo t3, so its old and the seals are probably gone. either get the turbo rebuilt, or find another turbo!!! goodluck!!!

Re:finally boosted but.......
ive just been in the garage and took off the manifold and downpipe,
the manifold is dry inside it(could of dried out by now tho i suppose!), and the downpipe and the exhaust wheel in the turbo is drenched with oil! so this means the turbo is fucked
there has been oil dropping out of the downpipe onto the garage floor!
What you guys reckon?
is there any way i can see if the headgasket has gone without taking the engine apart?
Thanks for the other replies

Re:finally boosted but.......
i seemed to have misplaced my x-ray glasses so i will need another solution please!
if i put the standard manifold back on tommorrow and see if it smokes through that then? and if it does the headgasket or sleeves have gone and if it doesnt then the turbo is fucked??

Re:finally boosted but.......
From what you have described that sounds like the exhaust turbine seal is shot hence why the DP is covered in oil and the manifold remains clean! (Strange though as i thought that turbo had not long been rebuilt according to a previous post!)
To be on the safe side now though definatley go with a compression test just to be doubley sure.
Other than that though this sounds like a perfect excuse to upgrade to a T3/04e!! You know it makes sense
