HELP-Turboed D smokes
 

i got a d15b7<dont laugh, with HF mani and adap plt to rebuilt saab t3. custom made ic pipes that i made, 2.5 with silicone couplers. just some no-name fmic. only engine mang. i got is FMU on stock injecters. SS braided oil/ return line, not using water. Dont hate its my first one.

My problem is that it smokes HELLA bad, white smoke. From day one of turbo always smoked. i thought it was the turbo so i rebuilt it. didnt stop do i did compresstion test and all cylinders were about the same but the number 2 plug hole. way low. i read about the compresstion test and how it doesnt really tell you exactly what the problem is so i dont know if its the rings or head gasket or what.

Im trying to figure out whats wrong so its not just something simple and i swap it. I plan on swapping in built z6 but for now i need car to get back and forth form work cuz i just wrecked my GFs car in the rain. it rains hella bad in wasington and we get huge puddles and i hit one on the freeway goin like 60 and spun out and hit the median hard as hell. so that cars about to take a while to get fixed and i need to get to work without having a huge smoke cloud following me everywhere.

did you bother to check your oil/antifreeze at all? just because you have low comp on a cyl doesn't mean ----, your fmu madness could have blown one of the cyl holes on the HG into a coolant passage and you are plumbing water into the low comp cyl.

or you have oil and antifreeze backwards. oil in the radiator and water in the pan, how else do you think it goes? O0

head gasket........

no doubt about it.
ur running no timing mgt, while boosting..... the person who had it b4 you took it a step too far and popped the HG. hows the temp gauge under hard boost??? raises up huh? just pull the head, check for flatmess w/ a straitedge and shim gauges, and replace the HG.

BTW....

white smoke = water
blue = oil
