Yeah I figured it was too much oil... just wanted to make sure. Oil change should fix me up... if not, the new turbo had better.

I'm supprised nobody really said anything about it before, but just think you added too much oil and this started happeneing, its the only variable that has changed really. just remove a bit of oil

look at your spark plugs. if its a bad turbo, they will look fine. if its a bad oil seal, they will have black **** all over them. (a lot of black ****,a little bit is normal, but a real smoker will make significant buildup)

ok i gotta ask abut this spark plug **** being black and all. Does it get black right away? my car's started smoking bluish **** just yesterday, and i've been working on it for quite a while dealing with emission removal and vacuum leak n ****. So my spark plugs has like 1 miles on them at most test driving it arond the block and like maybe a total of like an hour of idle time. would it still get black if it was bad oil seal?

mine is black, real black. but i don't see any build up. it takes a few whips to get the black **** off of the new plugs...

id agree its your turbo or your overfilling of the oil i have had two bad turbos.. i could blue out an entire intersection until i started driving and have the boost pressure to keep the oil in the turbo.....
