Re:its shot
 

is the cat still on the car?

Re:its shot
 

cant be my head gasket because my coolant doesnt foam or is discolored in any way and im not over heating....yeah my cat is on still too...

Re:its shot
 

ive heard of headgaskets going in small amounts...especially with boost where the extra pressure makes a little coolant squeak out. ive never had it happen to me, but ive heard of it

Re:its shot
 

oh ok well i guess its worth checking though ill check it out tonight

Re:its shot
 

well i started with putting a different turbo a 14b and a needle valve which i swore to myself i would never use and to my suprise no smoke at all.....so it was my turbo to start with......i like the way the 14b sounds to when it spools..

I have the same problem with my T3. Smoking under boost. it's definately burning oil though. Blueish and smells like oil (I have a good nose). I'm thinking maybe I should try a needle valve and see if lowering oil pressure to the turbo helps.
