blown twins?

after the car runs from a while, a greyish white smoke comes out the exhaust. a noticable amount. after boosting the car hard tonight, it starting coming out a lot. The car is having trouble boosting, and makes a terrible "moo" sound when letting off the gas.. It has a removed air pump, so its a different moo sound, and its non sequential, so i dont think its a vaccume problem. any suggestions, or ways to further act on this problem. any help would be great

Well I would defeinetely say that your turbos are probably about to go just because some of those symptoms happened to me right before they pooped out. The first sign I got of my turbos about to go was an odd sound coming from the turbo area that sounded like if you were to put a card or something to hit the spokes of your bike to get that "cool" sound when you were a kid. After that the turbos started to smoke and the car would smoke pretty bad. The ultimate sign that your turbos are gone is when oil starts shooting through your charge/intercooler piping and out the intake. So yeah I would say pick up a good used set from someone on the forums or go single! To bad going single costs like 6k! Yowzers!

Do you have a air pump? That will make the moo noise.

Also it does sould like you need turbos, but if the car overheated and was blowing smoke like that it could be a greaded engine coolant seal. YOu may want to test your coolant system to see whats going on in there.

Best of luck to you.
