Piece of moneky *BEEP*

My car is still a grade A P.O.S. You would think after getting a new engine among other things my car would QUITE smoking.... but no... And it doesn't smoke all the time either. When it's idling it will smoke, if i floor it and take it up to like 6k rpms then completely let off the clutch, it smokes... the thing floods like a little bitch, my gauges are still not working, the lights still dim a little bit when i hit my brakes and that GOD DAMNED coolant buzzer is STILL going off sparatically... damn it all to hell. Is my car posessed or something? HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Ok, the oil smoke is most likely the turbo. If it smoke when you get off the gas at high rpm, its the turbo.
The coolant buzzer, top off the radiator. Might have some air in the system.
Check the output on your alternator. Make sure the terminals on the battery are good, and clean.

Alternator is Brand spankin installed yesterday new.... i'll check the battery terminals clean of some deposits or something.... and well i guess i'd prly need to get a new turbo then eh? How much u think a used 89+ turbo and manifold would run me? One guy had one but it had cracks in the manifold or housing or something... i want one with no play in the compressor and no cracks.
