Re: Overheating
I understand it smoking off like fluids and stuff that got on it,I just fixed my leaky water line so im sure a bit of coolant was left on the turbo after draining my coolant, but it was really hot...like immediately after i started the car...didnt know turbo's were supposed to get that hot??

Re: Overheating
buring oil off the turbo when it heats up... all the grease and oil from your grungy hands.

Re: Overheating
I figured out the heating problem, i peiced together that it only overheated when i was pulled over, So I checked my fan, and sure enough it wasnt coming on. So i hard wired my fan to my rear window defrost switch :P So im pretty sure that problem is solved. I also let the car run through all the smoke that was comin off the manifold..and its no longer smoking
