Just to be sure, I tore everything apart just now ( im getting pretty fast at this by now) and seriously, I could find absolutley NOTHING WRONG???? I already cleaned off the oil residue and I really dont know where its coming from?? All I can think of is to put it back together and hope that it goes away, being that now I KNOW that everything is ok. Im so pissed right now but ill put it all back together and let you guys know whats goin on..... It wasnt overheating cause the car didnt even get a chance to warm up yet? ill put it back together and let u guys know whats going on....

Ernesto - I was looking at your blue tubing and I am hoping that it is high quality Silicone vacuum hose ( like Baker Precision hose ) and NOT the cheap *** Auto Zone crap. IT should be thick walled hose and not the thin stuff.

The cheap ebay/auto zone crap will last several days under that heat and all of it will fail.

Ok well I spent about 6 hours taking everything apart, just to find out that the smoke was coming from the catalytic converter....I feel so stupid but at least I know the turbos are fine. I got ALL of the parts together now, the next problem im having is burping the coolant? it keeps shooting up out the car and im wasting coolant aka $$$ ill look up how to do this but if anybody has any tips on how to burp the system let me know, then ill get that done, and I still gotta go for a test drive to make sure the turbos are boosting fine, and power is good.

When filling ,take the pipe of the back of the throttle body and fill till water comes out and stick it back on,this should make sure no air is still in the system,fill up run it and top up.RIX

My method of filling coolant is slow but it works. Disconnect the tb hose. Fill until full, then reach down and squeeze the upper rad hose and dislodge the air bubbles. When it seems full doing this, take a 20min break and do it again there will be more air. Then when it seems done, reconnect the tb hose and take the car for a 10min drive with your extra coolant and a large crap towel with you. If/when your coolant buzzer goes off, pull over, open the cap with the towel to protect you from steam/splash, and top off. After all that it's always been 100% full.

ya I used the "Hose Techniques" silicone like 3 ply or something, its very good quality kinda expensive but worth the money. Ill try and burp the system today, and then time for a test drive, thanks Illl keep you guys updated. Oh yea, if I squeeze the Bottom radiator hose, would that also take the air out? cause squeezing the top hose is kinda out of the question without taking everything apart

Well so far I just finished everything up, and I did squeeze the radiator hose ( lower one) and I let the car run while the cap was off, and checked the coolant level, and there was no bubbles, so I think I got all the air out, but tommorow ill drive to work and bring some coolant with me just in case of anything. WOW what a difference!! I took it for a test drive and it feels like it has a LOT more power then before, I actually spun the tires in first gear( I wasnt trying to) but ya im very pleased with the results... Now I need to drive it for LONG distances and see how it does thats the real test. Thanks guys for all the help!!!! this definitley wasnt easy but its always nice to have the support! For some reason my RPM isnt working intermittently?? idk maby itll fix itself after driving a while, these old cars have all sorts of problems, but im glad its done heres a pic of what it looked like when it was 99% done. Now I can get my Cali plates and registration, smog legal and finally its done, thanks again
