Smoke around turbo?? HELP!
I just put my Jspec S5 engine in my 90 TII. After driving it around a little and shutting it off, there is smoke coming from around the turbo. It burns your eyes like antifreeze, and kind of smells sweet. But its not leaking anything on the ground, or smoking out of the exhaust. Any ideas?

It's oil or coolant. Make sure the flanges and banjo bolts are tight. If the problem continues, you will want to replace the oil inlet and outlet flange gaskets, and banjo bolt o-rings. This requires pulling the turbo.
