problem w/ T3 on mpfi d15
so the other day i put a "new" volvo turbo on, it seemed to be in great shape.....and 5 minutes after i install it, it seemed i blew my head gasket (white smoke-tons, and crap coming out of the breather.). the engine is an mpfi d15, its been boosted for a while. so i threw a rebuilt a6 head on, d16z6 head gasket, along with arp head studs, which i torqued, loosened, and re-torqued several times to "stretch" the studs. everything went very smoothly with the head swap, then, 30 seconds after i re-start it, while its just idling, it starts billowing white smoke again. its running PERFECTLY too. no "blown headgasket" symptoms, such as stumbling, running on only a couple cylinders, etc..... granted, i didnt drive it, but it was idling and reving fine.
could my problem be that the turbo is blowing coolant into the exhaust? its an older volvo t3......oil and water cooled. please help, im frusturated. thanks in advance. -adam

take the turbo off and hook up a header and see if it still does it? after you swapped the head did it start throwing ---- out of the breather again?
could have a crack in the turbo housing or something along that line....
check your oil / coolant ? is it a chocolate milk color or is there any water in the oil / etc?
run a comrpession test too that i'l help ya out a bit.

^^^LOL
I would look at the turbo. It's kinda weird that it starts smoking directly after you put the turbo on. Take the downpipe off and see if there is oil in it.
