have white smoke coming out of my exhaust. I thought i fixed this problem with a new turbo but once i put the new turbo on, my baby is still smokin. Its very light smoke. Once i took the UIM off I noticed that their was oil in the UIM. There wasnt alot but enough to make me beleive thats where the smoke is coming from. Also once I turned my rex off I could hear a gurrgling sound in the UIM. Does any body have any helpful tips to get my baby back on the road. I got alot of Mustang boys talking @#$%.

the gurrgling your hearing could be in the water pump, you coolent seals in the motor maybe going

The oil is some what normal. I believe the Turbo or Purge valve will spit a bit in there.

I would be wary of a coolant seal.
Gurgling in the UIM is usually boiling water/coolant.

If your blowing white smoke you might have a leak on the exhaust or combustion side of the engine.

To check for coolant probs you can take the radiator cap off and turn the engine over. If itt starts to geyser out then it's a seal.

If you check your spark plugs and they are wet then it's a coolatn seal most likely.

I would start saving for an engine just in case.

Do you have the stock OMP? If so then you will have oil in your system. Also if you still have your vacuum line hooked up to your oil filler neck to the manifold, it will suck in some oil through there.

If the old turbo was spewing oil through the compressor side, the oil will collect in the intercooler and intake manifold crevices.  It takes a few weeks before all of it disappears.

Not if you use a high pressure water nozzle, or cap one end off and hook up an air compressor then pull the cap off.
