lets say you accendently add 1 1/2 quarts of oil too much, is it normal for your turbo area ( i have no dp) smoke white really bad? (dont ask why i put too much oil, its a long story)

White smoke usually means coolant is burning, Is your turbo water cooled?

yah but it not connected

do you think the added oil raised the oil pressure in the turbo feed line causing it to leak from all the extra oil being shoved in?

if you put to much oil, it will def smoke because ur running overlly rich, if it doesnt stop, check your oil return line, it might b kinked and its building up to much pressure and passing straight through thte turbo seals, thats wat happened to mine, does it smoke at idle, at boost, or jus all the time?

Overly rich? huh? Anyway, oil does not burn white. 1.5 quarts too much shouldnt make it pour smoke. I have overfilled mine by a lot before and it never smoked. What does it smell like?

well my car wassmokin white smoke and some blueish which was oil, and every1 was sayin it was overly rich on here, and told me to change the return line n i did and it stopped.

Rich usually refers to A/f ratio, but I get what you're saying.

ok if its a white smoke with a blue tint in it then your turbo is proly gone. cheack for shaft play and oil in your i/c pipe and intercooler

why are your coolint lines not hooked up. how long have you rain it with them not hooked up could have over heated the turbo and burnt the seals and internale parts just my 2 cents.

also what turbo is it
